Babywearing!

A huge thanks to Jenni Thompson & Ann Marrie Rodgerson for their presentation on babywearing last night. They have shared the information below with us:

www.thebabywearer.com is a great resource for buying/selling/trading carriers, as well as learning to use them. Here's the link with the wearing instructions for all the different carrier styles: http://www.thebabywearer.com/index.php?page=usinglinks
