Running/walking with baby is advice I've never seen fail. We're hunter/gatherers. Babies are designed to shut up and be happy when we're walking around with them and jiggling them. That's a survival feature.

Hahahaha. I would have had so many idyllic hikes if this was true of my kid. Strollers sometimes worked, but they never lasted more than 5 minutes in a papoose/backpack type deal.

  Same here unfortunately. Strollers, carriers, carrying-without-carriers. All ending in tantrums very soon.

    I'm relieved to hear this is not a unique problem. I was contemplating going back to the stork with a defective baby.

Ha. Babies absolutely do not always shut up and be happy walking/jogging/whatever.

I assume you had the best intentions with this comment (it does probably apply to a lot of children) but it also is a top contender for that “HN comment of the day” ;)
