AW: My first babywearing meeting with our local group.

in June 2011 Moms

I was asked by my local babywearers leader if I could take over for her... since it wasn't very active and we didn't have a lot of members and she was busy. I agreed and started doing some 'promoting' in the area and also made an announcement at the Great Diaper Change Event. The group has been literally booming! I couldn't be happier! On Saturday we had our first meeting. My DH is calling me a 'community leader' now haha... I feel very social lately and it makes me happy. We are planning a trip to the 2012 International Babywearing Conference at Washington, DC at the end of June.

I'm on the far left explaining chest belt variations for double hammock carry.  I am thinking about going to get my certification in babywearing... still thinking about it.

    How exciting. I went to my first local meeting this weekend to try out wrapping! Now I just have to buy a wrap!

    How neat. A friend of mine is trying to get me to go to her local babywearers' meeting. It's somewhat of a drive for me. I'm considering it but am a little apprehensive and not sure why. Just shy I guess. And afraid of ending up with carrier envy, lol.

    It is a great place to try different carriers and see what you like and dislike. Instead of buying and not liking it. You should go. I am glad I went out to try to meet new people because most of all my friends don't have children and it was very depressing for me.

    That's fantastic. You should do it!  There should be more of these groups too!  I was at Hershey Park this weekend and saw a couple getting their gang of kids out of the car.  She had an infant in a front carrier (wrap) and she leaned over to get another kid in the stroller - the baby almost fell out.  I could only think of the person that posted about her friend's baby that fell out the same way and had a brain bleed.  I probably could have benefited too - I didn't baby wear with either of my kids. Tried it, researched it and even consulted a friend who wore - still wears her kids.  I am just to scared because I still don't feel like they're secure enough.
