In case you missed it, over the weekend Motrin received a bit of a lashing for an ad they had on their Web site. Taken down since the uproar occurred, the ad essentially marked baby slings as a headaches creators. If you missed all the conversation this weekend, here are a few links to get you up to speed as well as the video from YouTube:
- Conversation on Twitter
- Letter from Motrin Exec to Amy at Crunchy Domestic Goddess
- On Twitter you can also search by #motrinmoms for updates.
- UPDATED: Here’s a great post by Her Bad Mother on the situation.
I totally missed this broo-ha-ha!

yeah, I decided to stay out of it. While it was a poorly thought out campaign, I must admit when I used my baby carriers I DID have sore back, knees, arms, neck and all sorts of sore muscles so I can see the need for some sort of anti-inflammatory/pain killer. Goodness knows I used it!
Hopefully they can find a new way to market to mom’s.
