"Not All Slings are Created Equal"


Considering the recent news and talk of "sling recalls" I wanted to provide some additional information here.
The slings that were recalled are two models of a specific brand - Infantino - which are widely available in various discount and big box type stores.
Even before the recent reported safety issues they were not slings that babywearing groups/advocates would have recommended strictly due to comfort and ease of use issues.
I would encourage anyone who might be concerned to take a minute to read this article:
Not All Slings are Created Equal
and also feel free to download the "Correct Positioning" document available on our resource page. We have had this information from M'Liss Stetzer (she is mentioned in the above linked article) available and have included it in our presentations since the start of our group.

New additions under "Resources"


I updated our Resource guide to include information about several local shops and work at home moms that stock slings and carriers! Shop local!

Happy New Year! *** Meeting location change***


Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season!  I have been reminded that this thursday - the 14th - the space we get to use at Grace church will be used by the Safe Harbor homeless shelter.  We will still have a meeting, it will be held at 10am at 205 N. Oak St.
