As if Indians don't back their babies..

They even do it in a more flexible manner

Lol.. this one is not backing, this one is siding.

So?

Beautiful people up there.

Meanwhile, our mothers did it cause they didn't have alternatives. No need to take pride in doing things the crude way. It's her choice but she isn't any better than those who use carriers.

mutter:

Why and how is this the crude way!
We always bring ourselves down.
I backed my children in Germany and I can tell you the response.
Some african women would asks me if I wasn't ashamed.
Some German women would stop me and ask me to show them how to do it!
Backing children with a cloth is very healthy for the child and the hip bones.
Please we should take pride in the precious things we have.

It was your choice. That doesn't mean it's not crude cause we now have things that make it easier. You can do that if it's easier for you, of cause. But no, it's not our tradition. It's what we were doing cause there was no other way. So anyone who still does that today despite having the means to make things easier for herself isn't upholding any tradition and she's definitely not better than those who prefer modern day carriers. Our fathers also walked very long distances to go to school/farm, would you do that today and call it our way? No, cause there are better options. Let's not take pride in suffering.

mutter:

I am sorry the modern day carriers are not easier and certainly carrying a baby in front is not as convenient for the mother.
These days women buy long pieces of cloths and they are not easier to tie.

Instead of using a baby carrier,

Like I said, it's a choice. There are back carriers too but if you prefer to tie the baby like our mothers did, fine. The important thing is that you do the one convenient for you without thinking you're any better than those who prefer it the other way.

You started by saying a woman is doing something the crude way and at the same time accuse her of thinking she is better?
Even if she said the wrapper is better, does it mean she thinks she is better. It is a preference for a product!
For you to mention back carriers is an indication that you perhaps don't really know much about these products..
Those things are on their own heavy and you can't carry young babies in it.
They are actually not used on a daily basis.
