I agree that in the Western world we have alot of our own things going on and don't have that physical closeness with our children that is neccessary for this method to be successful. I do carry and hold my children alot. But, that is my personality. So, I would have given it a shot but I am not saying I would have been successful. It would have been hard to do with three little ones at once! That's for sure. Diapers have been nice to me. :) I don't see this method as becoming a 'normal' thing to do but maybe more people will do it and it will still be strange but not unheard of.

Even if a Western mother doesn't have an outside job, most Western parents don't carry their babies around as much as parents in other parts of the world, and would not be able to communicate with the baby as closely. I see major obstacles to this becoming a major movement, although it does seem to be growing. I’ve heard of this, too, but I really wonder if Western Society would ever adapt to it.
