Lets see you babywearing !

[JellyBeann]

Hi, HT, I'd love to join the movement! I don't think I'd be able to make it to London though...as it's a 4 and a half hour drive!! Maybe we could do a Cardiff one at some point? Or some of us Welsh ladies could do our own mini Cardiff one and send you the pictures!

Oh I am sure I will make my way over your way as well! I am going to need to eventually find one or two people in each area to kind of hold it together. It has to be a group effort. I want to put up live feeds of the babywearing meets too. Talk to people from all walks of life and show how accessible it is. Anyone can start on their own. Once I have a website up and running (it is beig designed at the moment) then it can really have a more cohesive picture, if you know what I mean.

HT - I would love to be involved but I'm not near any of you all. Let me know if there's something I can do from here BW is very popular where I live so maybe I could give some ideas of what people are doing here?

I am trying to bring woven wraps into the city though - I haven't seen them at all and there's something really special about carrying LO in a woven. I can't explain it, but I love it so much!

 

[hot tea]

I am positive that after everything is set up, you can be involved.

I agree. Using a woven feels very... Primal. Like going back to something bigger than yourself. Does that make sense?

Exactly. Like it connects me with hundreds of generations of women all over the world. Love!

Anyone interested in joining the movement, let me know. I want to make something good.

Fab start hot tea What kind of participation are you looking for? Photos of others baby wearing?

I want to form groups all over the EU for babywearers. I want to meet them and take pictures of babywearing in modern settings and throw them out there to attract people. My ultimate goal is to normalize babywearing, make it seem "cool". With that, opening up to the roots of parenting. Start with something that attracts the eye, and dive into deeper waters once the audience is there. I want mindful parenting.

Anyone who babywears is kind of already in the movement, I guess. There is waaaay more to come but that is yet to be announced. I will tell you all when the time comes! But I am seriously stoked about it. I think my fellow babywearers will be too.

sounds brilliant, i'm def interested.

Sun, if you have long tails you could try tying Tibetan, I prefer doing it that way as it keeps the straps on my shoulders.

Sarah, good to see you've got the mei tai sorted, how are you finding it?

HT, I'm definitely up for being involved in your project, as I said I've set a library up and am hopefully very close to confirming a venue for the meet.

Finding it ok, it's still a little hard wearing her whilst juggling Riley! But she seemed to enjoy being worn!

HT I think all your ideas sound fab and I love your photos on the Flickr account. Just had a thought for your meet ups - everyone could have t shirts that say 'we carry them' with the carry them in whatever font you are gonna use for your movement and maybe the link for your website/ blog so people who see you all and are interested could see straight away where to go for more info.

I haven't worn jasper as much over winter bt everyone on this thread has got me so excited about getting back to it. Am determined to wear him loads this year as we both love it x

 

[AnnaBanana9]

Squeeee!!! Guess who's just been ordered a BEAUTIFUL Birds of Norway Connecta for Mother's Day?

 

[katerdid]

OOoo, annabanana, how lovely!!

HT - I'm so excited this! Although I'm not in the EU, it'll be fun to follow it

 

[nypage1981]

oooooh i love that connecta!

HT- sounds like a great plan, i cannot wait to see where it goes! Your pictures are lovely.

Here is a pic of Kian finally beginning to sleep while being worn instead of crying.....sitting is kind of awkward but i fell asleep in this poolside chair on our vacay with him!

 

[sun]

It is gorgeous out today so I thought I would post another of my LO sleeping. She pretty much can't stay awake on my back

 

[Snuffy]

I was hoping to get a photo of Ollie in my new Storch this afternoon but sadly the child threw up all over it before I even managed to get him in it.

Pfft indeed!

OOH! I told DH about this, and he said...we could go to London...I'd love to go to the natural history museum and a few places, so let's go for a long weekend! I'll be able to make it...WOOOO!!

Also...those of you who have set up sling libraries, how did you go about doing it? I want to do it in my area, and would love some advice!

 

[hot tea]

All of you ladies are so awesome! I made a video of a sort of introduction and will put it online sometime soon.

Higher quality picture + other new ones on my flicker.

I was looking into a storch, how do you like yours?

 

[hot tea]

I don't like storchs, at all. They are more difficult to wrap with than most are. Very thick so not ideal for summer or spring.

If you want a storch buy it used, as it takes a LONG time to wear them in so they are soft.
