Wow, what a great resource. I really like the book. I haven't finished it yet, but it has tons of information. The advantages of babywearing, types of carriers, how to use them, the history, and more. I was able to meet Maria Blois at the LLL conference last week. Maria is very nice and what a great experience to get to sit in on her babywearing session. This book is a "must have" in my opinion. Are there any other people that have read the book yet?

I just read the whole book!

I was sitting at the hair stylist getting a perm and read it. And passed my card around to all the pregnant sytlists and new mamas!

Hey Gretchen,
I loved the frequently asked questions at the end. They are questions that people ask often. It was nice to hear some good responses.
Beth

Gretchen,
I just noticed your new avitar. Is that the blue and white didy with Thomas? So cute, look at you doing the rucksack!!!!
Beth

Yes....I LOVE my Didy and am getting ready to post pics of my Storch.....it is so FABULOUS!!!  You ROCK!

And oh yes....I remember you from the talk....lol.....you were that cutie with the CUTE kiddo in the Zolo next to Darien!!  :)

p.s.   Thomas asked me where "Hawk" was for 2 days after you left.

me too me too!!!! Angela, Angie, Beth,  and anyone else who is up for it wanna have a book club on it? We can really dissect it!

The book club sounds fun. I found it very interesting that Maria did not put the storch down as a wrap. It has been around for 30 years and no mention. She has lots of new carriers listed like Sachi, gypsy mama, but no storchenwiege.

Gretchen,
Tell Thomas, Will, and Nick that Haakon says hi. He loved playing at your house. Your such a cool mom to have a slide in your basement.
Beth

Yes, that was one of the things I did not like.   Only slings on her radar were included.  Perhaps she should have collaborated with someone who had used more brands?

Ok I have decided upon reading through this book I do not want to create a book club or discuss this book in any way BUT Please someone else can

We can start a group if there is enough interest or maybe just have a chat at a later date!  If you are interested, please post here which method you would prefer.

Cooper, why?

Can we discuss what you did not like about it?

I am not done with it, but I found some things I would change, too.

It really isn't one particular thing that I dislike-- My mom always said if I can't say something nice DON'T say nothing at all!

Katrina, I am curious. What part of the book didn't you like?
