You may think of the early newborn days as time of little sleep and endless
diaper changes, but it can be an exciting and positive time too. Many
mothers find that wearing their baby --in a sling, or a wrap, or some other
kind of carrier--adds to a sense of peace and wellness for both their baby
and themselves. As babywearing grows in popularity, it can be difficult to
know where to start. Join Marie as she talks with trained babywearing
consultant Samantha Bunnell to find out the answers to popular questions
about babywearing, such as: Why babywear? What are the risks and benefits of
adding this to your parenting groove? What equipment do you need? How do you
get started? How can you find a babywearing group in your community?

Babywearing 101

Every new mother hears that breast is best. Many decide to breastfeed so their baby has the best. But soon after birth, the days are often fraught with sleep deprivation and conflicting messages from peers, family members, and health care professionals. Later, negative messages from the media and critical comments from family members and others may trigger mothers to question their decision. Feelings of inadequacy, intimidation and societal pressure to wean can cause mothers to give up breastfeeding before meeting their goals.
The aim of this show is to empower parents to overcome the barriers that keep them from beginning or continuing to breastfeed. Through discussion of hospital practices, milk supply, medications, returning to work, milk storage options, and more, this show will provide an informed and supportive voice for new families and established families, so that they can take charge of their breastfeeding experience from conception through weaning.
