Empowering Families. Training Birth Workers. Honoring Culture Through Babywearing.

This week is blackbabywearingweek, and Delaware Babywearing Connection is proud to offer support to this incredible cause- a cause that is often underserved and underrepresented in the babywearing world.
•
•
People like Diamond from mammissibirthservices, Black Babywearing Week, Black Babywearing Educators, Black owned Babywearing brands like heritagebabydesigns and babuebabycarriers… all of these amazing resources help to not only bring Babywearing back to Black families, but they also help to educate the rest of the Babywearing community.
•
•
What can you do to support ? If you are an educator, start volunteering teaching Black families! Work to get these much needed services to communities. DBC will be volunteering with blackmothersinpower in Wilmington for their Babywearing class next week!
•
•
Babywearing is ancestral for Black people, and sadly it’s been lost due to many things- and it’s time we, as allies, do our part to bring it back to communities. If you would like to support Babywearing in the Black Community, you can make a donation to Mammissi to help get more programs out there.

📆:
What: Babywearing as Liberation & Care
When: Thurs, June 25th, 6-8pm
Where: Black Mothers In Power Center, Wilmington, DE

Babywearing as Liberation & Care will teach those in attendance how Babywearing is ancestral care for Black people, exploring all avenues of benefits. There will also be a demonstration of different types of carriers, as well as a carrier gifted to each family.

There will be Black Babywearing Educators present, both in person and via Zoom, for this educational experience. The utmost care has been taken to focus on making sure Black families attending feel comfortable and safe.

This will also be held during Black Babywearing Week, which we are proud to share that one of the founders of Black Babywearing Week, Diamond, will be participating! We are also excited to have Kee, a Black Babywearing Educator, help lead the teaching portion of our class.

We had so much fun at the Bump & Beyond at Sunny Day Play Cafe this morning! We were so busy in fact, that we all forgot to take photos!
•
•
But this one. This one is of Amber, one of our lovely guest educators, and Brittany’s daughter Flick. And it speaks so loudly and proudly to what we do: pass the knowledge to the next generation of sisters, of mothers, of daughters, ensuring a never ending cycle of support and love.
•
•
That is why we do what we do. 💜🩵

I watched a mother today, timid at first to learn how to use her carrier. She was a brand new, 4th trimester mom. Slowly, we taught her the tips and tricks. As she looked in our mirror and saw that she, indeed, was able to do this and be comfortable, we watched her blossom in her power as a woman. Her confidence grew, her shoulders pushed back, and she stood tall with confidence. As she left glowing with pride, carrying her baby safely on her, I quietly said to Amber babywearingunicorn….

“That is why we do what we do.”

And this picture, it says that, and more. Aunties teaching even the youngest, ensuring this knowledge will forever live amongst women.

Sometimes, you just have to deliver a baby goat while babywearing!

Our educator Mallory was a total baddie, proving that you really can do anything when babywearing! The true definition of “babywearing for the win”!
•
If being this kind of baddie totally fits your vibe, send us a message so we can help you be a full on Babywearing Baddie!

DBC was thrilled to attend the woodlawnlibrary Resource Fair for Families with Babies. And boy, was our table hoppin’!

From helping parents and caregivers who have never babyworn before, to helping figure out the best next size up for kiddos, our educators Mallory and Brittany did all that and more.
