 Slings & ThingsIntro to the Art of Baby Wearing Carrying babies in-arms (and carrying car seats on one arm) day after day often leads to stress injuries and chronic back and shoulder pain. For centuries, though, and still today in some cultures, people have worn their babies tied to them with a simple piece of cloth to keep the baby close to their heart and still attend to the normal activities of daily life. It wasn't until the industrial revolution, as life became more technology driven, that people started to veer away from wearing their babies and started to use strollers and other vehicles to carry their children. Unfortunately, many parents have found negative consequences to the physical separation as well as the hassels of porting around these heavy and bulky contraptions. As a consequence, many parents in our culture have again returned to the ergonomic, practical, and bonding benefits of wearing their babies. Come learn from a professional about the myriad of popular options for baby-wearing, from the Baby Bjorn to pouches, rebozos, ring slings, and Mei Tais; get a chance to try them all on with experienced guidance; and learn some of the lesser-known benefits along the way (including healthy spine development and preventing "flat-head" syndrome). Appropriate for expectant parents planning ahead as well as new parents looking for relief! Also great for those who already have a carrier but are having trouble using it successfully. Bring it and the baby to get some assistance. Minimum class enrollment of 4, maximum 12. Advance registration is required. $20 per person $30 per couple
