Are you familiar with newborn babywearing safety?
Do you want help making your carrier as safe & comfortable as possible?
Join fellow parents to try different baby carriers and ask Qs!
This is the ideal intro to babywearing for ages 0-3 months.
Due to the class length, back carrying (for slightly older babies, 4 months+) will not be covered. (Let us know if that's something you want and we can have a special event around older baby/toddler carrying.)
The assortment of wraps typically includes (time permitting):
-
Buckle carriers (Ergobaby, Lillebaby, Tula, Kinderpak)
-
Stretchy wraps (like Moby, Solly)
-
Ring Sling style
-
Meh Dai style
-
K'tan and woven wraps
Please note: If you are expecting and would like to join, there will be practice babies for you. Otherwise, please bring your baby!
LOCATION: Park Slope Library (Downstairs in the Auditorium)
TIME: 2pm - 4pm (we heard your feedback, and are extending to 2 hours again!)
COST: $15* per participant ($30 for 2 participants)

About your babywearing educator, Cat. Thank you to PSP mom and Wear Together NYC volunteer Cat Griffiths for offering this class to new and expecting parents. She's been babywearing for over 10 years and has been part of WTNYC since the beginning. Other in-person babywearing demos can run $79-$100 (and up)!
Here's what parents have liked about previous demos:
-
We had been wondering what kind of engineering degree was needed to conquer the Moby wrap. Terrifically helpful workshop
-
Ability to practice with live feedback and doll / stuffed animal insert
-
I liked getting hands on feedback of how to use a wrap carrier as well as tips for how to get regular carriers like a baby Bjorn to fit properly
-
It was laid back and welcoming, I was able to try out carriers with my actual baby
