About this Blog
This is our first post here at the Chattanooga Babywearing blog. I am in the process off getting everything set up, which could take a little while for me to do. I think I will just start of using the default template, and as time allows, we will move on to a more personal, babywearing-oriented template, whatever we figure that out to be.
Leslie and I are not new to babywearing. We have been wearing babies since our first little one was born 3½ years ago. Leslie was ready to start (or I guess I should say, continue) wearing him before he was even born. She bought a New Native pouch, which she carried him in, in spite of the fact that it was extremely uncomfortable, but being that there was no place in Chattanooga to try on a different carrier, she just had to make due. Plus, he just loved being worn, so she just endured the lack of comfort and continued to wear him. When he was old enough to start holding himself up, we started to carry him around in an external-frame baby backpack carrier. At the time, I was use to hiking with a 50 lb. external-frame backpack, so wearing a 15+ pound baby was no big deal, and the pack was fairly comfortable.
Flash forward 3 years, and we now have two boys who are 3 ½ and 18 months, and another little one on the way. Due to Chattanooga's void in the babywearing support department, we started an online store where we sell baby carriers. We also open up our house for a more hands-on experience with baby carriers. Leslie can demonstrate the carries that can be done with slings, wraps, mei tai, podaegis, and structured (front/back pack) carriers.
Our goal here at the Chattanooga Babywearing blog is not to really talk about our store, but more just a place where we will link to good articles, highlight many of the baby carriers on the market, and discuss the babywearing interests of those of us in the Chattanooga and Southeast Tennessee area.
