Babywearing Tip Of The Week: Everything You Wanted To Know About How To Wear Your Baby


It's going on two years that I've been babywearing and I can't believe I've just now watched the tremendous only-one-of-its-kind Tummy 2 Tummy Babywearing Instructional DVD. Over 2 hours of invaluable information- how to wear four different types of carriers, how to choose which type would be right for you, how to breastfeed while babywearing, how to wear baby on your back, and oodles more.

If you are new to babywearing or want to learn more, this is a must-have tool. If you are a bit more seasoned like I am, then I think you will enjoy this great effort by four different prominent babywearing experts- and you are sure to learn something no matter how much you already thought you knew about babywearing!

It's such a handy resource as you can skip to any area of the video that pertains to you. Just interested about properly doing the kangaroo carry in a pouch? Troubleshooting problems with your ring sling? Wondering which type of fabric you should choose? Just how in the heck do you tie a mei tai in several ways? Or babywearing with just a simple piece of cloth? It's all here!

The Tummy 2 Tummy DVD is $20 and available for purchase in retail stores as well as online, including Attached To Baby where you can even buy in bulk and save!

Oh you've just made me resolve to buy one (if I don't win one of course ;-))! I've been thinking about getting one for ages but keep putting it off thinking we're nearly out of the bw stage but really we're not since we're only at the 15 month mark!

I would love to watch this video. I am trying to figure out a hip carry in my mei tai and am having trouble getting the straps right. They slip off my shoulder or the kids start to slip down.

amyjane said...

Ooh! I want one, since I'm expecting my second and basicaly bumbled around with babywearing until my first was practically a toddler, so I still have lots to learn!

Well since I'm now watching our grandson at least once a week, it would be a good time to learn this babywearing stuff so I'm in!

Michelle said...

I would love to learn more about babywearing from the "experts"!

Tiffany@naturemoms.com said...

Rachel said...

I would love this video. I am developing a babywearing class to teach our clients at the crisis pregnancy center I teach for--this would be perfect! (The classes are for moms who are keeping their babies and need material assistance--they earn "mommy money" by attending classes and can "buy" new cribs, carseats, clothes, and so on.)

Stacey said...

This is awesome! I would love to own this and share it with my Mommy friends!

Hi I am new to your blog, just found it today. I have 4 children with my latest addition being only 2 mos. I have NEVER worn a baby before this one and someone gave me a sling. I LOVE IT!! That is when I can get the thing on right. I have so much trouble figuring it out. A video like this would really help. If I don't win, I will have to buy one!!!
I will be a regular visitor now as I am loving wearing my baby as much as possible and your advice and reviews are priceless!!

I can't figure out any of the back carries which I think my one year old would love.

Amanda said...

Oh, I have so been wanting this video... Unfortunately I used the money saved up for it to go towards my purchase of my ISO - a Leo Storch Natural! I love it, but I only know how to do the Front Cross Carry. This video would help me make the most of my purchase and make my daughter very happy!!
