We are a nonprofit, volunteer organization dedicated to helping caregivers learn the art of babywearing and how it applies to their lives with meetings in the Chicagoland area.

Babywearing is:
* holding a child WITHOUT using your ARMS.
* can be SAFE
* should be COMFORTABLE
* provides FREEDOM
* is NOT JUST for INFANTS
* is LEARNED
* can be FAST and EASY

At a meeting or special event you can
* Learn the benefits of babywearing
* Get tips on safely wearing your baby
* Try different baby carriers
* Practice and learn different carrying positions
* Help others master babywearing
* Make new friends

Meetings - We start by socializing, followed by an overview of safety and carrier types with an emphasis on something different each month, then we break up for individual help.
