Babywearing in Queens

Hi Everyone,

I'm new to babywearing and everything AP in general as my daughter is only 12 weeks old.  I used mainly the Moby for the first few weeks and now I use a sling and sometimes the Ergo.  I am looking into getting a mei tai and a woven wrap to add to my collection as well.  I am not too smooth using the ring sling at all especially breastfeeding in it and I could use some pointers about babywearing/AP in general.  Anybody know of any meetings or support groups geared toward this in Queens?  I'm close to Brooklyn, too and I am willing to travel to certains areas of Manhattan.  TIA!

    Try Metro Minis at 75th and Park on the UES - it's a store that specializes in carriers and slings and they also offer classes.

    Hi! *Waves from one Queens mama to another*

    Ditto pp's recommendation of Metro Minis. They are awesome with practical carrier advice, even if you're not buying something they have in stock. I took a sling I already owned in to them to get help with how to tie it for hip-wearing. I looove them.

    Another great resource used to be Stork Store in Williamsburg, but sadly, the owner closed up shop about a year or so ago.

    I found some great mamas in my own neighborhood just by joining our neighborhood list serve. I found out who was more or less AP as time went on, but I think that living in an urban environment, even people who don't call themselves AP end up babywearing and bedsharing (especially in tiny apartments), for example, for the convenience.
