Find Local Babywearing Groups

Monday, July 21st, 2008

Are you interested in finding our more about baby slings and the benefits of babywearing?  Here is a list groups committed to babywearing and other ideas on how to connect with like minded parents.

  • Find a local Nine In Nine Out (NINO) Group.  This organization promotes babywearing to families and health care providers.  Their website contains details on how to find or start a local NINO group.
  • Contact your local La Leche Group.  These women are committed to breastfeeding and the well being of babies.  Many La Leche Groups have enrichment meetings once a month where they discuss other topics beyond breastfeeding.
  • Visit online baby forums.  Many online baby forums have local forums or specific babywearing forums.  Check out the Babywearer, Mothering, or the BabyCenter.  Join the group, post your own comments, and in no time you will be able to meet others in your area.
  • Start your own babywearing group!  There is no better way to experiment with all the different types of baby carriers than to get together with supportive mommas interested in learning the same thing.  You can attract interest by posting notices at your local health food store, libraries, birth centers, etc.

Do you know of any other local groups?  Reply tour post and we will include them in our next local babywearing update.
