Increasingly, in the streets of the city can be seen parents who carry their young in a special device - a segment of tissue wearing over his shoulder as if it was a soldier's greatcoat. A baby is in the pocket, in the folds of this matter, right in front of my mother or sitting on the thigh.

What is this bizarre device, a puzzled looking at the people around mothers. I myself have repeatedly felt eyes on him unaccustomed to sling people. Sling, patchwork holder or sling, so many names in this device for carrying children.

Unforgotten tradition

Wearing babies in a sling, as it turns out, is not a new invention, but slightly improved the tradition of other nations. I'm sure many will remember from TV footage of people in Africa or Latin America, for example, when the mother carries the baby behind him, and the child holds a handkerchief or piece of cloth.

Africans, Indians, gypsies are worn and my children myself. For thousands of years they have not changed their tradition, they are not experimented with prams, separate cot. And interestingly, the children of these people are calm, do not hear them - they do not cry mother sitting behind her, and she continues to quietly do their work. An interesting fact is that women of Indian tribes, there is no suggestion that a child can put a crib and continue to carry out their work without child. Apparently, the "uncivilized" people already have absorbed it for granted. So it is accepted and no one would do differently.
