Babywearing: a silly word for something parents have likely been doing since the beginning of time: strapping their infants to their bodies and getting on with life. With hands free to work, eat and drink – and a baby who swiftly falls asleep – it should be an uncontroversial tool in the parenting armoury. But as Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, discovered this week there’s nothing like babywearing to get the mother-shamers all fired up.
And then I tried the sling. A few circuits around the living room and she settled. I tentatively made myself a cup of coffee. I went out, and discovered a returned capacity to notice daffodils in the shop windows. I bought long-needed deodorant and ate food with two hands as crumbs dropped on her little downy head as she slept. That sling saved my sanity and gave me a much-needed reminder of what life was and could be again.
Yet with my babywearing revelation I found myself being dealt a side-order of shame. In a society that has its opinions firmly in our uteruses and nurseries, the sight of a woman with a baby in a sling seems to trigger something that feels a lot like surveillance. There was the builder who shouted down from a scaffolding tower that I was going to ‘kill my baby’ carrying him like that. The woman who expressed her anxiety that I would fall and ‘squash the dear little thing flat’.
