Mrs. Peterson, babywearing back in 1963!

Love this!

"Why are you so interested in baby toting?" asks host Anna Cameron in this 1963 clip from CBC-TV's Telescope. Her guest, Mrs. Peterson, has a simple answer: she was looking for a way to keep her babies close to her while still having her hands free to do the housework. She began to research baby carriers around the world, and found a variety of innovative contraptions. She also found an added benefit to carrying your baby this way — the motion puts the little one to sleep!

Watch it here.  Very fun to see babywearing being explained as the reasonable solution to having a baby and getting things done! :)
