At first I hated the Bjorn.  I never was a small-chested woman and when I first started nursing, hello.  So I was like “Why would I ever use something that squeezes the girls?”  David used the Bjorn weekly at least and the little guy loved it.  I figured it was good for dads.  Then I found out that it is AMAZING when your baby is  having one of those teething, tired, cranky, I-refuse-to-be-put-anywhere days.  One evening I was trying to make dinner for a friend and David, neither of whom had arrived, and Graham decided it was one of these times.  I first tried to move his bouncy seat into the kitchen but that wasn’t good enough.  He only wanted to be held.  I figured it was now or never for the Bjorn.  I have to say it saved my life.  Graham was immediately settled and I was able to finish dinner.  [Definitely not recommending bjorn use while near the stove but hey, desperate times call for desperate measures?!]

The other day a similar situation arose.  I’m trying to clean the house for a visit from the in-laws and Graham, who recently got his first two teeth, just didn’t want to be anywhere but right with mommy.  Bjorn to the rescue!  I strapped the kid on and finished vacuuming without a hitch.  My mom pointed out that I probably burned some extra calories that way.  And, David pointed out that if you significantly tighten the straps it’s easier on your back and the girls.    I would highly recommend this as a registry item and must-have for infants!
