		<description><![CDATA[Correction 12/5/08
Thank you Kathleen for correcting the information I have published. The situation is worse. The CPSC is asking for UNIT testing, not just component testing. Here&#8217;s the information on the difference and a link to Kathleen Fasanella&#8217;s blog.
Component testing is preferable for two main reasons.

This saves money and time if you’re repeating fabrications and [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=farnorthbabywearing.wordpress.com&blog=3275203&post=46&subd=farnorthbabywearing&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Motrin controversy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I admit, I suck at blogging.
What’s impressive about it though is the power that blogs, Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, etc. have on our society. Certainly this method of networking and viral marketing has shown its power in the recent Presidential election, but, on a smaller scale, it changed a pain reliever ad.
Motrin’s recent “mom” ad featured [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=farnorthbabywearing.wordpress.com&blog=3275203&post=44&subd=farnorthbabywearing&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>YouTube vids</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ah, I love the convenience and the size of YouTube videos. When i was learning to wrap the videos on Mamatoto were wonderful (despite the sound of the wind blowing) they were teeny tiny and I had to squint to watch them. I love that YouTube videos are big enough to see actual detail!
Anyway, here [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=farnorthbabywearing.wordpress.com&blog=3275203&post=38&subd=farnorthbabywearing&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Op-Ed piece by Dr. Maria Blois</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Babywearing Ambassador
“Is that a baby in your purse?”
The question startles me as I check out of the grocery store with my newborn daughter tucked close to my body in a baby sling.  I glance up at the woman ringing up my purchases, who is looking at me with nothing but friendly interest.
“Well,” I stammer, “Yes, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=farnorthbabywearing.wordpress.com&blog=3275203&post=26&subd=farnorthbabywearing&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Governor of babywearing (and Alaska)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Our governor, Sarah Palin, is well-known as devoted mom but is now on the national scene as John McCain’s vice-presidential pick.
Of course, she’s also a babywearer. Shown here in Juneau wearing her baby in a pouch, it will be interesting in the months ahead to see if she wears baby Trig on the campaign trail.

		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t know how we&#8217;d go anywhere without babywearing!  There was certainly no exception when we went to the State Fair on Friday.
I took my Vicky Storchenwiege wrap and Colin wore our toddler in the Ergo.  We had such a nice time!  I loved being able to nurse Dinah discreetly and away from [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=farnorthbabywearing.wordpress.com&blog=3275203&post=15&subd=farnorthbabywearing&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Newborn babywearing tips</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When babywearing a newborn it is imperative you make sure the baby&#8217;s airway is unobstructed. Most commonly, this includes making sure the baby is not in a chin-to-chest position, which can partially or fully obstruct the baby&#8217;s airway.  Newborns don&#8217;t have head and neck control so they can&#8217;t correct bad positioning on their own.  Snuffling [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=farnorthbabywearing.wordpress.com&blog=3275203&post=8&subd=farnorthbabywearing&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
