International Babywearing Week
The inaugural celebration of International Babywearing Week will be held November 12–18, 2008 with the theme “Celebrate Babywearing.” International Babywearing Week is a focused opportunity to celebrate, promote, and advocate the many benefits of babywearing. International Babywearing Week is also an occasion to focus media attention on this beautiful and beneficial practice.
In the UK, many exciting events are planned in each city. You can visit your local board to find the details or take a look here.
On Sunday, November 16th, each town will hold a Family Baby Wearing Walk.
Everyone is welcome, parents, babies, older children, slings, carriers. You don't have a sling, that's ok, just bring your buggy. We'll lend you one if you wish. Older children are very welcome too. Then we'll meet up for a picnic.
Anyone participating can enter in a fantastic prize draw. Grab a chance to win a free baby sling.
