Babywearing is an ancient tradition, practiced all over the world by almost every indigenous culture. In recent years, it has also gained popularity in industrialized cultures.
We facilitate regular meetings featuring discussion and demonstration of carrying positions and techniques, trouble-shooting babywearing issues, trying different carriers out, and more. We also have tons of fun!
Our group maintains a policy of openness and kindness. Our affinity is for attachment parenting, but we welcome everyone, whatever their background and parenting philosophy may be. We ask all attendees to respect this policy.
OUR MEETINGS
Each meeting begins with a discussion or presentation. Afterwards we socialize, snack and have fun with carriers! If you have discussion ideas, or would like to lead a presentation, please email us at carrymeclose at yahoo.ca (Replace "at" with "@")
