BWWA update by Stephanie Stepkowski, BWWA Chair
Welcome to the
spring edition of
Carried Away!
BWWA is continuing
to thrive as an
organisation and is
a valuable part of
the community.
Our Sling Libraries have recently
received some amazing new
additions, which gives the mums
and dads who use the services
even more choice of carriers to try.
The libraries make it possible for
people to experiment with many
different carriers to find what suits
them best without having the
expense of multiple purchases.
We have 8 libraries statewide,
the largest service of its kind in
Australia for our members (join on
our website).
hold special events to celebrate.
All members and the wider
community are welcome to attend
and participate in this celebratory
week. Babywearing Week is an
important part of the yearly calendar
for our community as it gives us a
chance to spend time with special
friends. It is also an opportunity
to demonstrate to the wider
community the wonderful benefits
that babywearing can bring.
Finally, this will be the last Carried
Away edition for the foreseeable
future. Thank you to our awesome
volunteer team! Editor, Cat, and
Graphic Designer, Delphie of See
Creative, are both moving onto new
projects. BWWA owes them both a
debt of gratitude too big to count
for the time and energy that they
have put into all of the Carried Away
editions. Organisations live and die
by the quality of their volunteers
and these are two people we have
been incredibly lucky to have on
our side.
I look forward to seeing you during
babywearing week!
Much love,
Stephanie
