Stretchy wraps (like Moby, Solly)

Ring sling style

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 with personalized support 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
