Babywearing International of Birmingham hosts two free monthly educational meetings each month. Check our calendar below to confirm the locations. Children are welcome to attend with their caregivers, and we welcome family/partners as well.
Agenda:
10:00 (9:00 for weekends): Baby carrier check-in, guest and member meeting sign-in, and announcements
Immediately after announcements: Learning library open; small group work and one-on-one help starts, check outs for carriers start
10:30 (9:30 for weekends): Babywearing 101 session for new babywearers
11:40-12 (10:40-11 for weekends): Finish up one-on-one help, pack up carriers and finish checking out carriers
Do you need some help with a baby carrier you already own? Bring it to a meeting, we’ll be happy to help!
Are you overwhelmed by all the baby carrier options in stores and online boutiques? Come try a variety of carriers at a meeting. You’ll get a better handle on what’s available, the features of different carriers, and how particular carriers feel when you’re using them.
Do you want to try a particular carrier before you buy one? We have an extensive collection of baby carriers available at our meetings. Meetings are free and open to any interested caregiver, and you can try out carriers during a meeting. A benefit of a paid membership in Babywearing International, which costs $30 per year, is the ability to borrow baby carriers from our collection. Members may borrow a carrier for approximately one month, from one meeting to the next meeting.
Do you want to buy a baby carrier? We don’t sell baby carriers. Our leaders are strictly volunteers who are passionate about sharing the joy of babywearing with others, and our chapter is an educational charity. We’ll help you get started with babywearing, and if you want to buy a carrier, we can help you figure out what you want to buy. If you want to make a carrier or use something you already have, we can help you with that too!
