Catch me as guest speaker at Bellies 2 Babies for a hands-on babywearing demo! We’ll be covering both baby and toddler wearing, so whether you've got a fresh newborn or a busy little one who still loves to be close when you’re on-the-go, there's something here for everyone I'll demo a range of carriers, walk through safe + healthy positioning, and answer all your wearing questions. It's part of Bellies 2 Babies' weekly community meetup at Kootenay Kids Family Place, where lunch and childminding for ages 1–5 are provided too.
