International Babywearing Week 2008
It is International Babywearing week this November (12th until 18th), and in order to promote babywearing in my area, I have started a babywearing group, which I have affectionately called “Sling Your Baby“. When we went on holiday last month, I was so amazed to see so many people wearing their baby in some sort of sling, mei tai or wrap! It was fabulous! And the looks my husband kept getting when he was carrying Son#2 were pretty good too. So I decided it was my duty to do something about increasing the popularity of it up here in Cumbria.
Sling Your Baby will be holding it’s very first meeting on Tuesday 18th November in Carlisle Library, and we would love to see you there. If you don’t already know about the advantages of babywearing, we will do our best to inform you and you can ty out different types of sling. Or just natter with other mums over coffee.
If you do not live in this area, check out SlingMeet for more events that are taking place to celebrate IBW08. There are lot of things going on, from walks to picnics, so make sure you join in and show off your love of babywearing!
