I have made no secret of my love and possible addiction to babywearing. Having somewhat stumbled into it with my first son, babywearing for me set the tone on how I decided to parent our children and lead me to learn more about attachment parenting. There are so many reasons why I love babywearing, but the main reason is it allows me to be close to my baby while having my hands free to deal with whatever life throws our way.
I love all my baby carriers, but I have a special place in my heart for Beco Baby Carriers.
However, if it wasn’t for MommyCon Las Vegas, I would have never tried on a Beco carrier and fallen in love. You see, I won a Beco Gemini at the very first MommyCon parenting convention. You could say it was love at first wear. I was super excited when I not only got to meet Gabby Caperon (THE designer and mom behind BecoBaby Carriers), but she actually helped me adjust my carrier to try the cross straps carry and made it even more confortable then before! Babywearing is so much a part of my life, that I actually got to wear my baby while speaking on a panel at the Spring ABC Expo. My husband also loves the Beco because it is the first structured carrier that actually fits him! I can’t wait to see him wearing our Baby D when he comes home from deployment! With the purchase of my son’s mini Beco you can officially call us a babywearing family!
That is why I am so excited to announce the latest endeavor from MommyCon and Beco!

Sounds like an awesome event! I love wearing my daughter. Although at 25 pounds, she is almost getting too big for this 110 pound mama.
Oh, I love this! Wish I could go!
can’t wait to see you, emily!
OMGosh this sounds like it’s going to be a blast!! Have fun!! I wish I wasn’t so far, I’d totally go.
This sounds like a super fun event. My kids are older so I can’t carry them around anymore, but when they were young I carried them everywhere!
This sounds like such a fun event with amazing speakers! Wish I could make it!
I didn’t know anything about babywearing with my first 3 kids but when I had my youngest I did and got a Moby wrap. I absolutely loved that thing and it was so helpful…. I even tried it when he was bigger since he was still within the weight limit but he didn’t like it.
I would love to be in LA; but alas will not be. Hope you break the record!
That sounds like so much fun!! I wish I was closer so I could attend!! Have lots of fun and can’t wait to see pictures from the event!
What a fun event!! looks like a good time for everyone involved. 🙂
I am forever impressed by people who wear their babies. Mine were always in a stroller or being held but I never could get myself to wear them.
This looks absolutely amazing! I was a huge baby wearer!!
Good luck in breaking the record!
ohhhhh want to be there!!!!
Well best of luck in this event–never heard it termed as baby wearing!! LOL 🙂 you have a beautiful family
If I were closer, I’d totally be there!!
This sounds like SO much fun! Good luck, mama!
How cool! Unfortunately, baby wearing wasn’t a big thing when my boys were babies, and I never really knew about it. If I had had them now, I definitely would have been a baby wearing fool!
sounds fun! babywearing is slowing down in my house since T is walking full time. (super sad face) i would still love to check this out.
That’s awesome. I can’t wait to see if they break the record.
