The Clemson group welcomed some brand new mamas with their newborns this month. It is always wonderful to see new moms getting out, nursing, and wearing their babes. These moms had such confidence! We didn’t really talk much about babywearing. What did we talk about? We had three pregnant moms in the group so there was a good bit of discussion about choosing birth locations and care providers.
The Greenville group discusssed making a no-sew ring sling. Sarah, a new mom, had whipped together a wonderful no-sew ring sling for a wedding she was planning to attend. She used this link and found some great fabric at Hancock. I wish I’d snapped a picture. Have I mentioned how great it is that dads attend the Greenville group? We also spent some time talking about infant sleep. Seems like everyone is reading Elizabeth Pantley’s No Cry Sleep Solution. I loved that book when I was a sleepy new mom because it made me feel normal and it encouraged me that sleep *issues* were only a problem if they were a problem for my family.
I hope to see you next month at the August meetings. I might be birthing sometime around our meeting and Carey has several births she’ll be attending around that time. But we have a back-up who will be leading the meetings in case we are absent.
