What is Babywearing?
Babywearing is carrying your baby close to your body in a pouch, sling, wrap, or other baby carrier. Carrying your baby is not a new fad. It is a time tested way of nurturing your baby and young child while still being able to accomplish everyday tasks. The most current research has proven what people have known for centuries. Carrying your babies is good for them!

How can this group help me?
Come to a meeting to learn about the many benefits of babywearing for babies and parents. You can learn how to use the carriers, different carrying positions, and troubleshooting etc.  There are a variety of carriers available to try out before you commit to buying one elsewhere (we do not sell carriers). You will find that there are many stylish choices to fit anyone and their lifestyle.  We provide resources as to where to find carriers. But if you already have a carrier and need help using it, help is available.

We do not focus on or promote one brand or type of baby carrier. We strive to provide a safe, secure and supportive environment for you to learn the many different aspects and benefits of Babywearing. Whatever your reason; If you want to learn how to breastfeed in a carrier, to accomplish back carries, or just find the perfect carrier for you, we can help with that.
