I saw the Baby Bjorn’s and knew that was a good way to carry my winter baby. But I was introduced to babywearing by my friend Alexa, who wore her little one in a ring sling.

I saw many discussions about wearing for new parents, and saw a few local to me wearing buckles. But after having my babe, I did further research and found my local groups! And it has been amazing ever since.

Sandra Caballero says
I love this pretty Wisteria Lane wrap. With my first daughter I wore her for a while back in 2009. I didn’t know there were any Babywearing group locally that can help me adjust the carrier. Until I had my second daughter and wanted to babywear again. Somehow I saw a page on Facebook and found my local Babywearing group. I’m so glad I found the group and they helped me learn so much how to adjust in different carriers. It’s the best because you can find the one you love wearing your baby. Every new baby wearer should attend a local baby wearing group to try different carriers.
Jessica E. Bivens says
I was introduced by a little shop I was working at that catered to nursing mothers in Phoenix, AZ. It has since gone out of business but I will always be grateful for that first ring sling and wrap 🙂

Nancy I. Schroeder says
I was inteoduced to baby wearing through Pinterest. I was so excited to be pregnant that I was on there constantly, researching everything I possibly could. I came across pins for Moby wraps and ring slings and then I saw the glorious woven wraps and my heart melted. I still don’t own one but I am constantly stalking websites with the pretty wraps and follow so many people on social media who wrap. I hope to own one soon, hopefully before baby #2’s arrival in February!

Rita says
I think social Media introduced me to baby wearing. I started reading articles and just looking into baby wearing. And now I love it! We travel a lot, most of the time I travel alone with my munchkin. So baby wearing in an airport Is a plus for me. Makes traveling less stressful for both of us. Baby wearing is becoming a lifestyle for me.. more like an obsession Good luck to all who enter.
Heather W says
When I was pregnant I had several women tell me to get a wrap. The one that was recommended just did not work for us. About a month later I thought “there has got to be a better option.” So I started searching online and watching tutorials. After a couple more tries, we found something that worked.

I was introduced to babywearing while pregnant with my first child 11 years ago. I was given a carrier by a friend at my shower. Unfortunately, the carrier was extremely uncomfortable and I didn’t know there were other options available, and therefore did not wear my first 2 children much at all. I just had a third child several years later and was introduced to the much wider world of babywearing by the babywearing group on BabyCenter. I have tried many different carriers sine and am so glad!

I was introduced by one of my long time girlfriends Monica! We live a similar outdoors life filled with animals and garden and just getting out and doing things. I watched her babywear and continue having a life filled with the things she loved and got to enjoy them with her baby snuggled close and learning along the way. out of all the”baby stuff we need” babywearing by far has been the best investment. I have in return helped other parents with babywearing and lent things out so they too can make the best choices for the babywearing future!
