Babywearing Play Dates

Windsor Parents play with carriers

Traveling Carriers come to Windsor

Carrying your baby is absolutely essential for dads to do. If mom is nursing Dad may feel left out, a carrier will show dad that his baby really needs him too. ( Whether you are the biological mommy or daddy or adoptive, carrying your baby encourages parent/child bonding, and a greater sense security in your child.

The purpose of carrying your baby is to give you back some of your freedom of movement, and to encourage your child to be intelligent, secure and independent. Wearing your baby encourages calm environment and a more relaxed parent and child. Carrying your baby in a sling type carrier is fabulous for the mental development of your child.

There are a ton of stylish baby carriers out there. Most of them are wonderfully made, and are great for your bonding experience.
I have been babywearing since 1996. I have been getting together with families, Semi regularly, in an organized group since 2003. I have supported them in their style of parenting and establishing a community of parents that carry their children and respond to their cues.
Since 2004 a small group of families have been getting together every week at various locations played with carriers, and enjoyed each others company- building new bonds. Creating life long friendships.
If you would like to get together with us, let our children play together, and learn life lessons from each other please join us at yahoo.
