Men with baby carrier?

baby backpack carrier for twins image

My husband has no problem with wearing a baby carrier (with one of our babies in it of course) in public. He prefers type with the baby on the front because he can't see the baby when it is in the "backpack" style carrier. We have twins and went to a housewarming for a friend. We live in New York, so we took the subway - each of us with one of our boys in the carrier on the front. When we arrived, I noticed a few women snickering about something, but thought nothing of it. Later, my friend told me they were commenting about how "stupid" my husband looked with the baby carrier, and they are only for women?? Personally, I find it cute - and it is the most convenient - and safest - way to transport our children on the subway. What do you think of men wearing a baby carrier?

Answer
I think the people at the party need to grow up. Men are just a nurturing as women. We are always pushed into roles of violence and disregard. A carrier is a great way to bond with the baby. Not only is it safe as you mentioned, its hands free living. Why is it both parents created the baby, but only one is allowed to care for him/her? I hope you won't continue to surround yourself with these negative neanderthals. Congrats on the twins also.

Do I still need to give her a gift at her baby shower?

I'm co-hosting a baby shower for a friend who is having twins. It is a couple's shower, and I'm hosting along with 3 other women.

I have 2 kids and I'm giving my friend all of our hand-me-downs. She wants them, I checked first. :)

I'm giving her a $200 bassinet, $170 Graco swing, 2 bouncy infant chairs (the ones that recline), baby clothes, a diaper bag, bottles, 1 infant sling (the one you put over your shoulder and it cradles the baby by your chest, 1 infant backpack carrier, and a booster seat. There might be more stuff, I just can't remember now.

This is all stuff my husband and I would have sold if we weren't giving it to them. Do we still need to get them baby shower gifts?

Answer
No, all that plus hosting the shower is enough. When the baby is born, you could get her a little token thing if you want, but not necessary.
