Donated a Baby Carrier

I was reading Stephanie's Adventures in Babywearing Blog, and she mentioned Jodie, an amazing mama who is adopting a premature baby. I offered them a gift certificate along with some suggestions on a baby carrier that might work for such a tiny baby and I am happy to say she has taken me up on it.

I love that more and more adoptive parents are using babywearing as a means to help the bonding process. This little baby will need all the loving he can get after this rough start and I know he couldn't be going to a more wonderful family. I wish them the best of luck!

SoBeBabies Giving Back

I find it very rewarding to use some of our profits to help support charities.

We just donated a sling to support a member of TheBabyWearer.com who is in a very difficult situation.

We have also donated money and/or baby carriers to:

• No Mother Left Behind (Open Arms Natural Parenting)

• Attachment Parenting International

• La Leche League, International
  

• NINO (Nine In Nine Out - now defunct)

• March of Dimes

• Mamatoto (http://wearyourbaby.com/)
  

We also believe in donating time to advocacy. I have been led regular meetings for the past three years. Some meetings include:

• Eliminication Communication (Natural Infant Hygeine)*

• Attachment Parenting (API leader)*

• Babywearing (NINO leader)**

• Introduction to Attachment Parenting, Babywearing and Cloth Diapers*
