Celebrity Babywearing

        More and more, media is beginning to include photos of celebrity moms and dads babywearing alongside their usual gossip banter in their magazines. As babywearing becomes more mainstream, even entertainment television news features the celebrities of modern day using the same carriers as us common folk. And maybe that's the problem.... many of the pictures I found of such well-known faces wearing their baby in, what the majority of mothers conclude to be, unsafe positions and in outdated carrier designs.

        I refuse to post the majority of celebrity babywearing photos, because the majority of them are using carriers improperly or front facing at what I consider to be too young of an age. I found that most of the photos that depicted a baby being worn correctly, were being worn by their dads! Now, if that means they did it themselves or had help from a more experienced mom, I still say kudos! As I always say, any babywearing is better than no babywearing. Here are some of my favorite celebrity babywearing dads:

Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka kept twins Harper and Gideon close their hearts — and away from prying eyes — in wraps covered by a jacket and an Aden + Anais blanket, respectively.

Channing Tatum may have won over the hearts of moms everywhere when he was spotted carrying 5-week-old Everly in a baby wrap, covered with an Aden + Anais muslin swaddle.

Gwen Stefani babywearing with a ring sling.

Peter Dinklage, an actor on HBO's Game of Thrones, carried his daughter Zelig in a Baby Bjorn carrier back in early 2012.

A rather hilarious depiction of Angelina Jolie, carrying probably only one of her children safely.
