Ohhhh, and I totally agree regarding "wearing your baby" -- attachment parenting. No matter how your baby comes to you, this is essential, I think, and even moreso when you adopt. I add another aspect that I think is also important -- I didn't use car seats to carry my children around; instead, I leave the car seat in the car and pick my children up and hold them, using either a sling, Bjorn or stroller. Yes, your baby wakes up sometimes but this is far preferred to your child sleeping alone in a plastic container. My 2 cents. . . susan
