See of green, a baby sling in the Iran demonstrations

I came across this website while reading news about Iran. And half way down the page, there's a mum carrying her child in an Ergo.

We often cite among the benefits of babywearing that the baby is close to mum, can hear her voice, feel her heartbeat, smell her scent, which help the child 'interpret' the world around them. A loud fire engine siren in our streets startles mum but doesn't scare her, the baby learns that it's not a dangerous noise. I can't even begin to imagine what the experience of such a huge crowd would be for this child without his mum close.

Thanks Victoria (babybean) for your help, I wasn't sure it was an ergo or something else.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Iranian people, we are praying for their safety, peace and freedom.
