I am not ignoring your requests for tips and advice regarding baby wearing, but I want to give your questions the attention they deserve. To that end I’m preparing some material on baby wearing to share my passion with you, but until then I want to share some quick links to other wonderful sources of information.
This site requires a free registration to participate but it truly is the most comprehensive baby wearing guide in english available on the internet. It is a community forum that brings old and new baby wearers together to share knowledge, resources and even entertainment.

Meredith’s blog contains a tremendous amount of information, it was my guiding light when I was new to baby wearing and trying to make some big decisions like, what kind of carrier to try and where to buy. If you find The Baby Wearer overwhelming or confusing try Meredith’s blog. Her Babywearing Guide is a fantastic place to get started!
For those of you looking to nurse in a wrap, I’ll definitely do some tutorials, but in the meantime check out www.wrapyourbaby.com breastfeeding posts.
A word on Facebook baby wearing groups- I am a member of several babywearing groups, and as an experienced wrapper (and wrap addict) I find it great fun talking wraps and wrapping in my free time, but I do not recommend these groups to new wrappers as I find myself correcting bad advice often. If you must join a Facebook baby wearing group, take any advice you read there with a grain of salt, and go to The Baby Wearer for answers to your questions and trustworthy advice.
Thank you for this! This is definitely something that I want to try – but it’s overwhelming and scary to know where to begin! I’ll start with Meredith’s blog and go from there!
I love how passionate you are. I probably won’t being moving past my ergo, but I love all of the info nonetheless.
I think the Ergo is great!
