If you are a baby wearing mama, and you use Motrin, you might want to think twice.  Their newest ad campaign features a video that mocks and condescends to their target audience.

Here’s the condescending, mocking, anti mom and baby video.

I was so furious when I watched it I could barely speak. You would think a company who’s target audience is mothers, and has millions of dollars to spend on market research, and advertising would do a little bit better job than to insult their target market.

Insinuating baby wearing is simply a fashion statement, so you can feel like a “real mom”.

Mocking different styles of baby carriers.

“supposedly it’s a REAL bonding experience” I mean come on! Just do a quick Google search and you can see the benefits of baby wearing real and many.

“moms who wear their babies cry more than other moms”? What’s that about.  Maybe you need a lesson or two from your local NINO leader to learn how to properly wear your baby so it doesn’t cause so much pain. I know wearing my little one was the only thing that calmed her down, and didn’t bother my back at all. In fact, it cured the pain in my head from 24 hour screaming of a high needs infant.

Look like an “official mom” because you wear your baby. Check yourself. It makes you look like a mom who cares about doing the best you can for your baby and youself.

So now wearing a baby makes us look tired and crazy?

These are probably the same people who think formula is better than breast milk.

You can bet your sweet bippy, all motrin products will be leaving our household today ~ Forever.

Fantastic Response to the Video:

As I’ve said in the past pregnancy yoga is wonderful for your body, mind and spirit during pregnancy. Here are a few more pregnancy yoga poses to help you maintain your flexibility as well as learn how to control your breath.

When you learn how to control your breath in non stressful situations you will be better able to draw on that skill during more stressful times ~ like during labor. The ability to control your breath, and therefore you mind will do you very well during labor.

Yoga helps you get in touch with your body, and your baby. It helps to connect you with your spirit and helps you to get in touch with your ability to handle anything that comes along. This video will show you what you can expect from a great pregnancy yoga video.

This last video will provide you with some pointers and some hip openers for those in their third trimester of pregnancy.

If you continue to do pregnancy yoga you will find you have less water retention and water buildup in your legs.

If you have enjoyed these yoga videos you may enjoy having a full length yoga practice at your finger tips. The one I used during my pregnancy was Prenatal Yoga With Shiva Rea, but there are numerous prenatal videos available depending on your style and the style of yoga you enjoy.

If you have never heard of a Lotus birth, you are not alone. I had not heard of it before either. But after a little research here’s what I’ve found.

Lotus birth is allowing the umbilical cord to remain intact and connected to the placenta until it naturally detaches itself from the body. Just as it naturally would three to 10 days after birth.

This is seen as giving the baby time to adjust and to transition from living in the womb with the placenta as their only source of nutrients to living in the world. It is a big transition and this is said to help make it easier.

You don’t find many childbirth videos of Lotus birth, but I did find one today I thought I’d share with you.
