I agree with you. I do not think babies ought to be trained. Perhaps gently encouraged? But not trained.
We also wear B. Eventually he'll be too heavy for me, but for now I can do it happily!
When B came home (B was born 6 weeks early, spent one month in the NICU) the hospital assigned home health nurses to come in twice a week... every other day? something like that, to track B's weight. I had to ask them to stop coming because it was too stressful. B didn't grow much for the first couple months, but then..... voila! Now he is above the 50th percentile! All in his own time.
