International Babywearing Week is October 5-11, 2014 and has been held since 2008. It is the project of Babywearing International (BWI)- an international non-profit educational organization that aims to promote safe babywearing and normalize keeping babies close to their caregivers. BWI was founded in 2008 by four different babywearing groups that were based all over the country (Chicago, Central New York, Birmingham, and the Bay Area). The goal of International Babywearing Week is to build community and to increase exposure of babywearing in the media to help make it more mainstream. It is so important to educate parents-to-be about the incredible benefits of babywearing and these large events are a great way to gain exposure! The IBW hashtag (for twitter, facebook, and instagram) is #intlbabywearingweek. So whether you are attending an official local babywearing event, or are just wearing your baby doing your normal activities during this week, be sure to use the hashtag!
BWI also organizes an annual babywearing conference since 2010. It brings together babywearing educators, retailers, manufacturers, and enthusiasts for lectures, workshops and community growth. I have not been to one yet, but hope to attend one in the next year or so!
