Motrin....What Were You Thinking????

Horrible commercial from Motrin

transcript:

Wearing your baby seems to be in fashion.

I mean, in theory it’s a great idea.

There’s the front baby carrier, sling, schwing, wrap, pouch.

And who knows what else they’ve come up with. Wear your baby on your side, your front, go hands free.

Supposedly, it’s a real bonding experience.

They say that babies carried close to the bod tend to cry less than others.

But what about me? Do moms that wear their babies cry more than those who don’t?

I sure do!

These things put a ton of strain on your back, your neck, your shoulders. Did I mention your back?!

I mean, I’ll put up with the pain because it’s a good kind of pain; it’s for my kid.

Plus, it totally makes me look like an official mom.

And so if I look tired and crazy, people will understand why.

WTF?!??!! Why bash baby wearing just to sell some damn pain meds?? There's oodles of other routes they could have taken!

Let them know what you think here

Mood: aggravated

Is there anywhere to watch this commercial/see the ad?

I agree. Bogus.

Also, if your neck/back/shoulders hurt THAT much from wearing your baby...umm, Motrin? Yer doin' it WRONG!

idk! I posted it in the baby wearing community. Should get a wave of complaints sent to Motrin there, too.

What almost bothers me more is that if you don't wear your baby you apparently don't appear "official" as a mom. SHAME!
