To encourage mothers to carry their babies, and give them more scope of
activity than is offered by a carseat-carrier, you might share an
excellent, non-technical LLLI article on how movement helps a baby learn
and develop in those crucial early years.
http://www.lalecheleague.org/NB/NBMarApr01p44.html

It includes references, and a list of practical suggestions -- someone
on Lactnet rightly pointed out that new mothers may fall into leaving
the baby in those plastic seats because they're so unsure of how to
handle these unfamiliar, wobbly-headed little wonders.
