So I have to ask, what on earth do you do at a baby wearers meeting? :)
Ah, Nashville. Did you know I went to Belmont for a year? They messed my student loans though, so I decided I didn't want to take out unsubsidized loans and went home to commute to school.
:) each meeting has a topic for discussion--things like how to promote good back health when babywearing (they might have a chiro come talk to us), nursing while babywearing, different carriers that have worked best for different stages, etc. everyone brings their stash and you can try out different carriers or get help with your own. that's a big part of why I went, to get hands-on help with my ring slings.
and, time to be around like-minded moms and let your kids play and just chat :) it was fun--I'd totally go again. wishing it weren't so far away.
Ok. The only thing I could think of was checking out different types of carriers.
I got the boba recently. Was going to get the Ergo for the longest time but got the Boba because I liked that it was less bulky and more streamlined. I've worn it once so far. Can't wait to try it out again. I don't wear them much in the house, but out and about I do.
Boba? haven't heard of that one. I'm not using the Ergo this time around - got a Kangapack, which is essentially the same thing, except cuter and less bulky - handmade by a girl I know who sells them on Etsy. I'm planning to post pics of all my new carriers sometime soon, along with the diaper bag my SIL made.
I looked them up on Etsy. Cute. I can't believe you have something besdies your Ergo (wink wink). Can't wait to see pics! The Boba is made by the same folks who made the Sleep Wrap.
I know, right?
I looked up the Boba - and then had to read the comparison with the Ergo. sounds really great!
