@divapyem said: “This is not Nigerian. We tie our babies at the back not in front. This is some other African culture but not Nigerian. I’m surprised no Nigerians have commented yet.”
@graceokpo reacted: “This is NOT NIGERIAN. We strap our babies to the back here in Nigeria please.”
@standupchic reacted: “Yes please, we need Grandma to give us a full Tutorial on this. I only know how to “back” babies with a wrapper. I’ve actually never seen this method in Nigeria. it’s probably from a tribe’s method I’m not familiar with.”
