International Babywearing Week Celebration Meetup

Happy International Babywearing Week! Today we celebrated by gathering together for a meetup.
 Mama and 4 month babe using a Natibaby striped woven wrap for the first time.
 Teaching a mama how to use a woven wrap.
 Success! This 15 month old snuggled right into mama in this Didymos woven wrap.
 Wrap conversion mei tais are a great compromise between the comfort and support of a woven wrap and the ease of a mei tai.
 
 Serious multi-tasking going on here! Toddler on back is in a Bamberoo Reverse Half Buckle soft structured carrier so mama's hands are free to hold the 3 year old and there's a babe growing in the belly!
 The 3 (going on 4) year old wanted to go up for a bit in this supportive Diva Milano woven wrap, which allows mama to tie over her growing baby bump.
 Front Cross Carry, a great "popable" carry, using a Girasol woven wrap.
Our group's certified babywearing educator wore her 6 month old down for a nap on her back.
 Toddler wearing in Didymos Mare.
 Pulling on mama while she attempts to wrap babe on front.
 Hot mama! Woven wraps are so beautiful!
 This is why suck pads were invented!
 This 13 month old fits perfectly in a standard size Kinderpack.
 Nursing in a ringsling.
 Working on back carries in a Didymos woven wrap.
 Beautiful mama and babe in a Beco soft structured carrier.
 More soft structured carrier wearing.
 We welcome expectant moms, new moms, experienced moms, dads, grandparents, caregivers--anyone with an interest in babywearing is welcome to our meetings!
 
And my favorite picture of all: the toddler gang!
