    Another thing that comes to mind though is carry the babies is one thing but does do justice to the older kids or do they suffer. You loose the freedom to be spontaneous - to pick them up or to have them flop down in your lap for a story - the babies are always in the way. I understand the whole attachment parenting thing but it is about bonding with the mother and baby not just about being lugged around. I have been a caregiver for 25 years and deal only with infants and toddlers. There is no way it would have been feasible to carry 1-2 kids constantly for that length of time. If you do it now for your daycare children you may not be in a healthy enough state to do it for your own future children or grandchildren. Just something to think about. The back, legs and shoulders take an awful beating from doing daycare.

    I would definitely not do it for the daycare children (I have a stroller for a reason!). It was more of a question on when I have my own!

    Thanks for all your responses!!!!
