Malawian babies don't cry.
They are tied most of the time to their mothers back in a simple cotton wrap.
Their diapers are made of cloth and changed maybe once twice a day.
If they do start crying, whatever the mother is doing she will scoop the baby to the front and breast feed her child there and then.
Showing your breast is the most natural thing to do and no one looks!(Except me!)
I saw a mother today breast-feeding and getting water from the well....tough life....
The get used to everything around them from the "back view" and just look and stare.
I've been kids play with sharp objects like knives and broken mirrors but they don't hurt themselves or others....From an early age they learn to know about the risks and avoid any injuries.
Siblings as young as 4 to 5 years old start carrying the babies as a relief to their mothers who are doing other errands
