Baby Wearing

[Anonymous]

I've heard that there are baby wearing "workshops" in the area where you can learn more about baby wearing and try a variety of different carriers before you buy. Does anyone know of any, particular in VA?

I went to one at the Breastfeeding Center on K St, NW. If you search on google I'm sure you can find out more info.

I went to one of these and it was really weird and awkward. Mostly it was a bunch of women with their children who were already friends and catching up with each other. There were a bunch of old slings dumped on a table, but not really much of a learning opportunity about the differences between them. It was a very strange experience.

Hmm, that does sound weird. I will check out the one at the Breastfeeding Center. Another question: should I go while I am pregnant, or wait until the baby is born? I'd like to have a sling right from the start, but I also want it to be the right one!
