"The truth is that the average Western infant between three weeks and three months of age is carried a little more than two and a half hours a day. We end up carrying the baby to the car in a container, through the store in a container, to eat lunch in a container, back to the car in a container. Sometimes from there to the swing that we can click [the container] right into without touching the baby so we can make dinner, into the bouncy seat while we eat, and soon to sleep in the crib. The West has diverged from eons of child rearing and has gotten to the point so that objects are defining our baby's existence more than our bodies".
