I'm used to having to defend my babywearing to well pretty much everyone so i was quite taken aback today to get a really nice comment.
I had Thea on my back in a ruck carry while we wandered to the swing park. I was singing away to her as we walked and she was giggling and kissing my shoulders lol. Id noticed a lady on the other side of the road who kept looking over at us but i figure well i must look a bit mad with a baby on back singing away in English. We had almost got to the park when the lady crossed the road to talk to me. I steeled myself to say sorry i my Hungarian is really bad but she said oh i heard you singing in English so i knew i could talk to you because i dont speak a word of Hungarian myself. She had a chat with Thea and then said to me, "oh its so nice to see people actually carrying and interacting with their children, you little girl seems so happy up there looking at the world". Then she asked me where she could buy a wrap and where would she go to learn how to use one because her daughter is having a baby and she thinks babywearing would suit her lifestyle well. She even laughed and said she quite liked the idea of becoming a babywearing grandma
We talked about different carriers for ages and then she came to the park with us so she could watch me take Thea off my back and then wrap her again.
It was so nice to talk to someone who was genuinely interested in the reasons behind wearing your baby. I wrote down some websites for her and told her that if she is out for a walk at about the same time everyday she will most likely see us in a variety of carries and she is always welcome to come and ask about whatever we are wearing that day. She asked me if I could wear a MT on Monday because she liked the sound of those lol.
She was such a nice lady and i felt really uplifted and happy after our chat
