Clemson: We had a couple of new mamas and mamas/papas-to-be attend. So, lots of questions! I promised to post some links for everyone. Sources for local babywearing products: Labors of Love in Spartanburg carries Ellaroo wraps. Jennie G’s boutique at AnMed’s womens and children’s hospital carries Moby and Hotslings, I think. My Baby Modern is an online store that allows free pick-up in Easley. They carry zolowear ring slings. A wonderful mama in our babywearing group has a green Moby for sale (20.00!). Email her if you’re interested (poleidopy[at]hotmail[dot]com). Another mama in the group has a gorgeous Ellaroo Mei Tai for sale. Look back a few posts for info and picture. Finally, a mom in our group sews ring slings that she sells through Carolina Waterbirth.
The product most of the moms asked about was the moby wrap. And great video instructions for wrapping a newborn are here.
My favorite online ring slings are these and these.
What did I leave out that I was supposed to post?
Greenville: We didn’t have a big group last night. I think because of the change in location. But this library was really wonderful and no security guards poked their head in to make sure we were following the rules. We’ll meet at this branch again in December since the main branch was booked.
There was interest in getting a baby on your back. So here are some links that might be helpful:
A great mei tai demo.
We also talked about how to wrap without the cloth touching the ground. Here ya go.
