Metro Minis’ Introduction to Woven Wraps is a 45-minute class designed for newcomers who are interested in wrapping. Baby wrap carriers are far and away the most versatile and comfortable baby carrier available. Wraps are a simple piece of cloth, usually long that gets wrapped around you and your baby. In a wrap, your baby or toddler can be worn front or back, facing in or out, high up on your back, low down on your front, or on either hip. When worn correctly, wraps make it as comfortable to wear your toddler as your newborn.
Using a baby wrap does not have to be difficult. During this class you will learn the basic carries to start you on your path to wrapping your baby. We will teach you the details about the various wraps. How does each differ from the other in terms of supportiveness, weave, stretch, washability, breathability, and durability. How are these wraps different from any random piece of fabric? Plus we will discuss the reasons wraps are fabulous; how to choose the correct size, how to nurse in a wrap, how to change positions. Finally, we always pay particular attention to teaching safe and comfortable wrapping techniques; both for the child and the caregiver. Included in the class is a follow-up instructional DVD to take home.
Due to the detailed in-depth nature of this small class advanced registration is required. Class is FREE.
Please note: This class focuses on non-stretchy woven wraps. A few example brands are Wrapsody, Didymos, Storchenwiege, BBslen, Zara, Bara Barn and Girasol. If you are interested in strechy wraps, please visit us for our Babywearing 101 class.
