Methods adopted by mothers in different countries for carrying their children.

Mothers from many countries took part in a television programme broadcast by the BBC from Alexandra Palace to demonstrate the varied methods adopted by mothers in different countries for carrying their children. Picture shows: Mrs Nigeria with baby tucked up behind and shopping basket on her head, chats with Mrs Wales who has her baby warmly tucked in a Welsh shawl before the television camera at Alexandra Palace . NOTE: The two women have dummy babies on their backs, since the shoot was an educational program,hence why they have to use dummy babies.
