International Babywearing Week 2016

International Babywearing Week is a time for us to celebrate Babywearing. It's an entire week to recognize and advocate for the many benefits Babywearing brings to caregivers and babes.



Here at Babywearing International of Manhattan Kansas we have many events to attend and some online partying planned for you. We will start with a BWI Sustaining Members wrapping party, a night of online games, an awareness/celebratory walk at Manhattan City Park followed by Lunch at AJ's Pizzaria, babywear around the zoo and finally we will be collaborating with The Carrying On Project's Fort Riley playdate group for a Pumpkin Pickin' Playdate!

Becoming a Sustaining Member has its perks, like FREE library rentals and Members Only Events. We're kicking off International Babywearing Week with our first MOE, an evening wrapping party! If you've been wanting to buy a membership now is a GREAT time. We will have our library wraps along with our educators personal wraps, you are very much encouraged to bring any of your own to add to the petti...ng pile! Educators will be there to demo, help out and geek with you over the many aspects of wrapping and the beautiful textiles we use.
