    Sami (I think :o) linked to the same story in the Daily Mail earlier.

    It's awful, that poor woman. I'd be so embarrassed!

    CSH :( sorry to hear your news, that's really sad for his family.

    baby-wearers: another newbie question, sorry. What do you do for diaper bag/whatever? I have a carp one now that usually wears across the body but can't do this with a sling on, right? I didn't know if there was a certain style of bag that was better than others when wearing with slings. Wearing something just on 1 shoulder is a bit uncomfy after a while, as it weighs down.

    How about a rucksack?

    Big hugs CSH, that is horrendous :(

    I don't think I ever went far enough away from the car/house with Alice in the sling to need to carry the whole change bag apart from things like day walks where OH was there to carry stuff too. I did used to use a rucksack for shopping though (Alice on my front, shopping on my back).

    Aless I tend to wear the bag over my body with the Baby Bjorn and put the strap between Molly and me. I don't know how you'd do that with a sling though :shrug:

    I've just found a hidden stash of 6-9 month clothing after my ebay frenzy of being certain Molly had none. Ooops....
