This reminds me of the natural (although more gentle) swaying and swinging
that babies get while they are "worn" in a sling or carrier, while the mom
is walking or doing chores.
I recall, as a new mom, reading Dr. Sears talking about how babywearing
helps a baby get "organized". I had no idea what that meant, at the time.
Doesn't the Continuum Concept also theorize something like this - that these
babies who were continually worn, had better balance, etc - were more
in-tune with their environment.
I often wonder in my car-sickness and fear of heights could be because I was
not carried enough as a child.
