Baby wearing: Indian celebs, catch up!

Be it Aishwarya Rai Bachchan or the latest celeb mom on the block, Kareena Kapoor Khan, they have all been clicked holding their bundle of joy – literally as a bundle (of joy and pride)! Now move on to Hollywood mommies and you will come across endless pictures of “baby wearing” moms, be it Julia Roberts or even Padma Laxmi with her baby Krishna. I wonder why this stark difference between Hollywood and Bollywood moms’ baby wearing? Does Indian motherhood (even for the celebs) is best represented with the baby being held in the arms? Does putting a child on a trendy sling defy the perfect picture of the quintessential Indian ‘Maa’? Does the sling give a picture of a “casual mom”?

Even the very sassy and sizzling Malaika Arora Khan always posed with her arms around the baby. Just wondering if pictures of Beyonce’s eye-catching sling with baby Blue tucked close to her could be an inspiration for our Indian celeb moms? The all-furry grey sling not only compliments her smoky grey cardigan but also looks more like a stole than a baby-wearing accessory. When it comes to showing the bump, Konkona Sen Sharma, Shveta Salve and Kareena Kapoor have rocked the baby bump and could put Hollywood to shame, so why not amp the glam quotient with trendy slings?

So here’s a question for you: Should our Indian celebs get a mommy stylist to play around with new mommy fashion tools – of which the sling is surely topping the list? What do you think? Let’s talk it out mommies! We would love to know what you think. Share your comments below…
