did you know that october is international babywearing month? :)
and to celebrate, the FAB (filipino association of babywearers) team organized its first official (and last) event for the year which was a babywearing (of course!) gathering last 20 ocotober 2012 at renaissance tower 3 (i attended my first babywearing meet last april 2012).
the event started at 1:30 pm but we were late as kirsten was still having her nap by that time. ;)
per jenny ong of chronicles of a nursing mom, the program included:
Introduction of F.A.B. - Buding Dee
Talk on Babywearing Benefits and Safety by Jenny Ong and Jen
CC Tan
Activity: Baby and Me Sling and Move by Eliza Ypon
Sponsored Talks: ErgoBaby and Tickled Mom
Pocket Talks, Demos and One on One Instruction (in the individual
booths)
we got there past 2pm and jenny was in the middle of her talk on carriers.
fellow n@wie clarice of tickled moms did a presentation on their products.
there were lots of babywearing moms and dads in attendance! :)
have you tried wearing your baby??
different baby carrier brands had displays and demos around the venue.
i caught jenny demonstrating the proper way to wear a ring sling.
galing noh? :)
and eliza of the painter's wife held a sample gymboree music class (sayang at tulog si kirsten during this part of the program, she would have loved chasing after the bubbles!).
and may i say that eli was very engaging as a teacher? i'm not aware that she's doing this professionally, but if not, she should! her voice is very soothing, too!
i didn't win anything in the raffle but was able to take home goodies from mommy treats. :)
and the best part of this event? i met my college friend, louie, hubby jordan and baby gavin!
here we were, 13 years after college, with babies!
i remember that louie celebrated her 21st birthday in mcdo. heehee
our mantra? HANDS-FREE! :)
