HoustonBabyWearers believes that babies need physical contact just as they need food, air, warmth, and shelter. Babywearing helps parents and other caregivers give babies all the closeness they need, while still having hands free for other tasks. Our mission is to promote the art and science of babywearing to help make it a universally accepted and supported practice. HoustonBabyWearers is a service-oriented group and is dedicated to reaching out to others to dialogue about the joys of babywearing and of parenting. Our goals are to support each other and to publicly promote babywearing. We are currently looking for key people to help manage the group, meetings, and outreach.
