Overview
This meeting is for new wearers looking to learn basics, anyone wanting to learn new carries, or about other carrier options, and experienced wearers just wanting to talk babywearing.
We start with an overview of safety and carrier types with an emphasis on a different topic each month, then we break up for individual help. Please bring any questions and any carriers you have that you'd like help with, as well as any babies you need help learning to carry.
In addition, please let us know if there is a specific topic you want to discuss or carriers/carries you would like to check-out/go over.
Membership
Our meetings are ALWAYS free, and you are always free to try out the carriers that we bring to the meetings. If you're interested, you have the ability to sign up for a membership. The membership is a $30 tax deductible donation that allows you to check out one carrier per month for a year.
