Well my tactic may be a little different. I talk about Touch alot in my prenatal 
group.  How we all need to be touched, how we don't like to sleep alone and 
how we love hugs.  I emphasize how important touch is to babies and that it 
helps grow their brains (maybe as much or even more than the breastmilk!). I 
tell them skin is our largest organ and how sensitive it is.  I also talk 
about "flat head" syndrome and almost all of them have had friends with babies 
that have this or they have seen the babies with helmets so they know it 
exists. I was at one point gifted 200 baby slings in honor of WBW and we gave 
those out to every breastfeeding mom. I wish I could have exchanged them 
for the "buckets" but then they wouldn't have a car seat!  Anyway I think I 
mentioned before that I have had moms come back and show me they are 
carrying their babies :-) and are very proud. 

I HATE the darn buckets and I'd be the first to start a CARRY YOUR BABY 
campaign!
