I got my first order in today!

I made my first Order on Monday and got it today and I put adds up
everywhere yesterday… Of course in my order I needed to add things for myself
so that I can know the product… So I got my first stretchy wrap and my first
pouch and I love them!!! YEAH.. Colin’s feet will never hit the ground again
LOL!!!!

So now I have in my Baby wearing Library..

Ellaroo Wrap

Maya Wrap (ring sling)

2 homemade ring slings

2 Pouches (one cotton, one fleece)

1 Stretchy Wrap

2 homemade cotton wraps

Deuter Kid Comfort II (Frame BackPack)

The only problem is that Colin is starting to get bigger (he’ll be a year next
week) so I guess I’ll have to make another Baby to keep on wearing 😉 LOL

Update on Pre-natal and babywearing….

The Pre-natal went pretty well last night… there where 5 couples that where all ears but one couple in particular…
When asked at the beginning if they where wanting to breastfeed this couple said that yes they would but would like to express to have daddy have a chance to have that bond too… So I made a point of explaining all of the things that Daddy can so even if he doesn’t nurse… (skin to skin, walking, burping, cuddling, bathing) and it seemed to make sense to him… The whole time I was talking this guy had a big smile and was nodding… During the break they told me that they have read a lot of breastfeeding and that all the things they have read where confirmed and they learned many more things… I told them that if they want to succeed they have to go into it saying that they are going to do it… and told them how when I was pregnant I decided that nothing was going to stop me from breastfeeding and I wouldn’t let myself be set up for any disaster so all bottles and samples where thrown out of the house… When I said that A light lit up in this guys face, and right away he said that that was such a great idea… that having samples around just`makes it so much easier for then to be used and for something to hinder the breastfeeding relationship… and that if you have to go out and get Formula you might think about it a bit more… (I really think that the samples they have are going to be leaving the house LOL)
Another thing they asked me about was Vit D… I told them that I have never given Vit D and that it depends on the school of thought… Though the Canadian Paediatric Society recomeds it… the actual fact is that it is a blanket recommendation that really doesn’t have too much weight especially in a fair skinned child born in the summer..

Another cool thing that happened was that the nurse asked me if I had brought my wrap and Sling because she really wanted to show it off and show off the way I wear my baby…. I told her that I have been thinking about giving some classes a the “Carrefour” and she thought it was a great idea and is going to talk to her boss about me being the “official” resource is the region… She even told me that she has gotten a few questions about babywering from people that have seen me in Public and she knew they where talking about me because they described my Ellaroo!
I am still waiting for the answer from “Maman Kangourou” but I am pretty sure to become a retailer and that way I can teach and sell…

LLL Conference

I went to the LLL Conference in Montreal Yestersday and it was fun… I took 3 “classes” that I thought would be interesting and fun… Baby-wearing, Tandem Nursing and Homeschooling… I got to the Baby wearing class and the girl was just another Mom that loves babywearing (which is great) but the problem was that I knew more about babywearing than her… So a few of the things that people has questions about I answered… I didn’t learn anything about babywearing except that I should start giving classes too which I think I will bring up as an idea at the CLSC Tuesday when I give the Prenatal…

The Tandem nursing class was pretty much a summary of the Book “Adventures In Tandem Nursing” which seemed to be a big discovery to her because it hasn’t been published in French… However, I have read it cover to cover a few times so again I didn’t really get to learn anything new… but it was fun to meet other Tandem nursing Moms…

The third class… Homeschooling was the best… It was inspirational and It confirmed by decision to Homeschool… I couldn’t have asked for more…
The thing that stuck with me the most was that on average a Homeschooling student does about 1 and 1/2 hours of school work a day (about the average homework time of any other student)and not only that but that with 1 and 1/2 hours of work a day an average student can finish the school year in about 4 months!
There was a women in the group that was there to know more because she often got questions about homeschooling but was completly against the idea and at the end she said that she understood things in a very different light now..
Anyways… it was great and very informative…
So the day wasn’t a loss… and I got to show off my beautiful Ellaroo and I got proffesional pics taken free with Colin…. (can’t wait to see them!)
