Are you curious about babywearing, but don’t know where to start? Do have a sling sitting around unused? Not sure how to use the beautiful wrap someone bought you as a gift? This group is for babywearers to get support and tips. If you have never tried babywearing, come learn more about whether it feels good for baby and you. Try on a sling, learn safe babywearing, or share your expertise and questions.

That’s great! Really excited for this, especially the REI playgroup. I’ve been wanting to learn more about the philosophy.

wow, she sounds very hard core AP. I like to think of melsyf as more moderate Attachment Parenting. I breastfeed (my son is 15 months) but I no longer do it at night (or if I do, one maximum, mostly he sleeps through the night now). We coslept until around 6 months until we moved LO into his own queen size mattress on the floor of his own room (next to us) and one of us lays with him/I nurse him until he falls asleep and I leave. I babywore but only until he was 8 months old at which point he was ENORMOUS and I couldnt carry him anymore and out came the stroller! I love AP, but only in a reasonable level. Once its not working, change it! Oh, and I had a Natural birth and IT.SUCKED.BEYOND.BELIEF. I think that is the one tenant of AP that I am going to have to completely let go, if next time around isnt any better. But yeah, I think breastfeeding, birth bonding, cosleeping, babywearing are great! I dont think you have to go psycho about it and be nursing 4 5 times a NIGHT at 2.5 years old! That is really crazy! or at least it would make me crazy. But I still believe I am very much practicing attachment parenting, and enjoying it! You can do things at whatever level works best for you and LO.
