Photo shoot!


Have you seen all the beautiful photos on this blog and on the international babywearing conference website? You and your baby can be in some of them! We need more models to take pictures of the carriers that have been donated to us. There is no monentary compensation- but you will get a digital copy of the pictures that are taken (and they are just gorgeous).


We are having a babywearing photo shoot this Saturday March 27th at 3:00pm. We are meeting in Idaho Falls in the temple parking lot by the church building. Come and bring your friends!

Babywearing is safe!

But bag style slings, like the infantino slingrider are not! I was happy to see an article posted about it. You can read that article here at cbs news
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2010/03/09/national/main6282437.shtml


Here is an article about bag slings that was sent to Infantino, the government and safety commisions a few years ago.





As with anything in life you need to know how to use baby carriers correctly. Ring slings and pouches can also be dangerous if you don't know how to position your baby correctly. click here for a great article on correct positioning for the safety & comfort of your newborn.

If you are new to babywearing find a friend or a local babywearing group to help you find the right carrier for you and your baby. Learn how to use it safely and correctly. If you live in Southeast Idaho come to one of our babywearing meetings. We meet monthly- In Rigby we meet every 2nd Tuesday of the month at 9:30. In Ashton the meetings are every 4th Tuesday at 9:30am. We welcome anyone and everyone. The meetings are free- plus we have a lending library so you can try out different carriers to see what suits you best. click here for directions to the Rigby meetings.

Also the international babywearing conference is coming to Rigby in June (hurray). Classes are free- register today! go to http://www.internationalbabywearingconference.com/ for more information.

Directions to the Rigby babywearers meeting

For everyone that wants to come to the Southeast Idaho babywearers meeting in Rigby, but have no idea where 455 claremore dr is- you are in luck because here are some directions for you.

If you are coming from the Idaho Falls area- hop onto highway 20, and take the first Rigby exit. Take a left onto highway 48 (1st south) at the light by subway. Go down highway 48 until you see claremore dr on your left. Turn left onto Claremore dr and follow the road around and 455 is on your right. NOTE: I believe that the sign for claremore was removed during construction- so if that is the case what you need to do is look for the red brick church that is at the corner of highway 48 and 3rd west. After the church is church street, (which you can access claremore dr from, you just take a left onto church, then a right onto claremore) and the very next street is claremore. It is a small street, so keep an eye out for it. You can see mapquest directions here.

If you are coming from the Rexburg area- hop onto highway 20, and take the Rigby exit and take a right. Follow the road as it curves down main street. At the light take a left onto state street. At the next light take a right down highway 48 (first south). Go down highway 48 until you see claremore dr on your left. Turn left onto Claremore dr and follow the road around. My house #455 is on the right. NOTE: the sign for Claremore dr was removed during construction, and I don't think that it has been put back up yet. If that is the case what you need to do is to look for the red brick church that is at the corner of highway 48 and 3rd west. The first street after the church is church street, (which you can access claremore dr from, just take a left onto church, then a right onto claremore) and the very next street is claremore. It is a small street so keep an eye out for it. You can see mapquest directions here

If you still aren't sure how to get there- or are driving and get lost, but happen to have a cell phone on you, just give me a call at 745-1497 or 360-2299 (my cell) and I will do my best to guide you.

Our first meeting is January 12th at 9:30- hope to see you there!
