Installment #2 of Baby-Wearing

What they didn't tell you about baby-wearing:

#2 - You cannot do everything while wearing your baby. 

After four Blossoms, I've mastered nursing while wearing baby.  I use the bathroom while wearing baby.  I eat while wearing baby.  I've given another Blossom a necessary piggy back ride while wearing baby.  I've climbed ladders while wearing baby.  (I don't recommend it, but we managed to escape unharmed.)  There ARE some things you can't do - things like weeding the garden, looking in the far recesses of a lower back corner cupboard, deep-frying food etc.  Realize your limitations and find some other work to do.
