Carry of the Month (COTM) is an ongoing feature for the BWIP blog and Facebook group. Each month one of the Volunteer Babywearing Educators (VBEs) will choose a wrap carry or carrier to showcase and write a blog post with instructions or videos. At our monthly meetings throughout the valley, we will designate time to demonstrate the carry or carrier in person and answer your questions. Feel free to join in on the fun! Post pictures of you trying out the COTM in the Facebook group or email us your entry. Check out the bottom of this post for the prize raffled off for participation this month!

It's August! We've made it halfway through the summer here in Phoenix and this month we're breaking out a trusty carrier, the pouch sling. Pouch slings are economical and easy to find. They are one-shoulder carriers that are great for hip carries and also for front carries. This month, our chapter Treasurer, Liz will be demonstrating how to properly wear a pouch sling with her bitty babe. This is a perfect carrier for Liz to demonstrate: she's always keeping us on task with our chapter spending and pouches are the cheapest carriers in our library! Don't let the price fool you though, a properly fitted pouch sling can span the time from birth to toddler.
