Johnson & Johnson riled up mommy bloggers Saturday after posting an ad on its Web site that attempted comraderie with moms that endure aches and pains from carrying a baby in a sling, or as the ad called it “baby wearing.”
The ad's commentary that “wearing your baby seems to be in fashion” and “moms that wear their babies cry more than those who don't. I sure do!” resulted a series of Twitter comments from upset mothers and angry bloggers calling for boycotts.
The ad was subsequently removed from the site, and an apologetic statement was sent to key media, like The New York Times, and bloggers.
