Hope everyone has had a great summer break and you have been getting out in this (mostly) lovely weather. Our committee has been enjoying this time with our families and are back with the full library this month; washed, dried and ready for hire again. As you can see from the photo above, babywearing comes in very handy when you’re adventuring in places a stroller couldn’t go.

If you’re keen to give babywearing a go, try a different carrier or style to what you already have, get troubleshooting on your own carrier, or hang out with other babywearers, come and join us for our first Slingmeet of the year.

Date: Friday 8th February 2019

Time: 10 – 11.30AM

Location: Trinity Union Hall, Hall Street, Newtown (behind Lychgate Mall)

We start off our meeting with a quick introduction to babywearing guidelines and safety tips, a demonstration of different styles of carriers and then there will be time to get advice, hire carriers, or catch up with fellow babywearers. If you are new to babywearing or our slingmeets it would be great if you could arrive in time for the introduction talk. We’re happy to answer any questions you may have about any aspect of babywearing and about any type of baby carrier. If we can’t answer your questions we can refer you to someone who can.

Baby carrier library:

Our library includes stretchy wraps, woven wraps, meh dai, SSCs and ring slings. It only costs you a one off fee of $20 to become a lifetime member, and all proceeds go towards running and updating the library, and keeping our meetings running. Babywearing Wellington members can hire baby carriers from our “sling library” for $10 per month.

Bring your friends! Our meetings are open to the public, so please feel free to invite anyone you think might be interested – friends, family, other mums and dads… you don’t have to have a baby to be a babywearing supporter! Buggies/strollers/prams etc all welcome – you don’t have to be babywearing to join in the fun.

Hope to see you there!
