Morning Meeting: Series #1, Reasons to Breastfeed

February’s evening meeting (February 2, 6:15-7:45) will feature a “why and how to” of babywearing, including a number of different carriers. BYOC (Bring Your Own Carrier) and/or try the examples provided by Clothes Pony. We will have experienced mothers there to help answer your babywearing questions and help you learn how to wear your baby. If you already babywear please come and share your experience. If you want to learn about different carriers, here is your chance! Accredited Leaders will also be available to answer your questions about breastfeeding.

We will meet in the community room of the Treetop Yoga Studio, which is on the 2nd floor of Clothes Pony and Dandelion Toys at 111 N. College (in Old Town Fort Collins — click for a map). Feel free to drop in and stay the whole time or to leave as needed. This time is meant to be a casual conversation in a warm and relaxing environment! There is a small area for children to play in but childcare will not be provided.

Our next meeting will still be at 1st Baptist Church*, 900 E Prospect on January 20(scroll down to January for more details) — we just wanted to announce the babywearing meeting further ahead of time so that you could get it on your calendars.
