when you finally meet your bundle of joy
the next step is bonding and nurturing
that baby and medical professionals
agree infants thrive through touch and
wearing your baby is another way to meet
this need yeah and the benefits of baby
wearing doesn't in there here to explain
more we have Kim Gregory and Marie Boone
from the roan of baby wearers thank you
so much for coming on in you're very
busy this is Charlie my daughter and I
have Annika on my front and I have
Ridley on my back a little bit about the
benefits of baby wearing um it makes it
a lot easier to do stuff especially when
they're this age and then when she was
younger I had pretty bad postpartum
depression so I was able to weigh her
and we could do skin-to-skin while
wearing her and it made it easier for me
to cope and then it just helped us both
because we were both getting what we
needed
so yes obviously we're seeing a baby
that she's got to be close to newborn
she's three months old three months and
she's asleep yes which is love most
yes asleep and I mean what are the ages
that you can wear a child I mean I wore
her on day three because I had a
c-section and she was at a different
Hospital yes so when I first saw her she
was in a carrier so you can wear them
from right away - he's gonna be three
she's already three but people wear them
up to age six or more
there's carriers all the way up to
preschool and for special needs baby
wearing so kids who have trouble with
mobility or a low tone haha they make
special preschool carriers so people can
carry their children throughout the
years oh wow so will you guys show us a
like the different varieties of baby
carriers and then will you show us how
to actually these are gonna be our fake
babies because we got nervous that we
would drop
I don't drop a baby I don't try okay so
laughs yeah what do we have here
these two are ring slings okay um
they're really nice especially in the
newborn and probably the easiest to
nurse in yeah and they're the probably
the simplest as far as getting adjusted
for your size let's see how we so this
one is already threaded okay so and I'll
show you how to thread that one so
you're gonna want the Rings
up on your shoulder okay to thread the
g2 you go to GG's family it has two kind
of like the old woven belts yes right
yeah so you put it through and then you
just want to make sure that that you
didn't kind of cross them over which
that one's right Oh upside-down okay you
want it like that on you okay again
doing it for me like this yep and then
where's the Rings out no you're fine
that's alright the ring is supposed to
be on my shoulder yep it's gonna go
across you yep like that okay like that
yeah and then this goes on this side yes
baby okay
so you're gonna put the babies in that
little pocket that's right yeah pull and
then cuz now that's a good people of
what not not to do yeah don't want a
cradle we don't put it on the side nope
you want that belly and then you're just
gonna take this and pull it down and
sorry you're good so the reason you want
to be belly to chest is because then the
baby is upright which is you really want
to have a good airflow and when they are
cradled especially when they're this age
or small they can't have they don't have
head control so they can't lift their
head up so it closes their airway when
they're in a cradle so then they have
trouble breathing okay so that's why you
want them right so they have an open
airway you can see their face right
supports their back baby I love this but
there's so many other options right
and yes he slings and backpacks so this
is a buckle carrier okay um there's a
bunch of different options a lot of
people think of them as like Peugeot's
or tulle or another one right that they
list a lot but a bunch of people make
them so with this one it's essentially a
backpack or a front pack and this goes
around your waist and then this goes in
between your shoulders or the chest clip
right here and they just go in it just
like a backpack this is so cool so if
somebody wants to find out more about
you all and maybe get in touch with you
guys to get some tips how can they do
that
um Roenick baby wears on Facebook
Facebook and I haven't but note here
lending library is that something that
you guys do yes so some of these carries
are from our lending library but we have
a basically a giant duffel bag full of
all different types of carriers
different sizes and so people can try
them out there's a rental fee it's a $5
rental fee you get it for two weeks
and then you also have to give us a buck
of the cost of the carrier in case you
decide that you want to keep it or
destroy it okay but then you can try out
everything we also have by week monthly
meetings we'll try to do them twice a
month where we can meet with people and
help them with their carrier so go
online thank you ladies
