Clemson Group: We had a few new faces at the Clemson group and some we had not seen in a while. It was an informal time of chatting and swapping parenting tips. One new face came to learn how to wear her 5 month old on her back in a Moby. That was exciting! Her baby seemed to really enjoy riding on his mama’s back!
Kristen showed us the Mei Tai she’s been sewing. I can’t wait to see the finished product. And Kristin, sporting her growing belly, got a refresher course in wearing a newborn (in this case, a teddy bear) in a ring sling.
Greenville Group: We always have a mix of new and familiar faces at the Greenville group. As the familiar babies grow, their mamas and papas come to try out new carries. Some are ready to tackle the back carry. Some simply want to turn their baby around to see the world. We had one new couple who brought their 12 day old little one for some help with a ring sling. Once settled in a snug tummy-to-chest position, the newborn went right to sleep.
Our topic at both groups was DIY babywearing. We saw examples of homemade wraps, mei-tais, and pouches. If you are interested in making your own inexpensive carrier, check out the DIY link under each type of carrier on this website.
See you next month!
