Thanks and some info!

Hi all,

Thanks for a great meeting today, it was great to see so many new moms/new to babywearing moms! Hope you found some useful information today! Please let us know if there is anything else you need!

As requested, some information.

This is the website/forum we mentioned that is all about babywearing. It is quite big and busy and overwhelming, but is a wealth of babywearing information, and they even have a for sale section to look at carriers if you are planning to buy! You do have to register.

Brands of Woven Wraps: This is not an exhaustive list, but the ones that I know. So you can tell if you are getting a woven wrap, ask for the materials (should be cotton, linen, wool, bamboo - NOT jersey).
*Didymos
*Natibaby
*Hoppediz
*Storchenwiege
*Chimparoo (Canadian!!!)
*Vatanai
*Bbslen


Some great videos for Front Wrap Cross Carry (FWCC)- the front carry we showed most of you today. IN this one she holds the baby the whole time, which is another way you can do it!

Nursing in a FWCC video I like! Where she leaves his legs in, I would often leave them out. Its just preference.
