Carrying my baby? The question hasn't even been asked.

I was pregnant and I was bound to need a sling. Carrying seemed (and still seems) a normal and natural transition to me after giving birth.

It quickly became extremely practical! Being a "mom on tour" in my job means: travel, transportation (train, plane, bus), suitcases, bags, restaurants, hotels, visits, sometimes festivals, and so on....

Hence the importance of having your hands free. Porting was our solution in different situations:

- When we needed our baby to fall asleep quickly.

- In filmed moments and when it was important that he didn't wake up.

- Lack of space for a pushchair (backstage, in inaccessible places)

I remember one time when we had to do a complete spinning of our show and no one could babysit. One of the technicians carried him in a sling that (at the same time) handled the sound and light! Show must go on...
