IBW '09 Babywearing Walk in Gurney Plaza, PENANG

18th Oct 2009 - It was a cloudy day (with a chance of meatballs??!) as Penang Babywearers gathered in front of Chilli's of G Hotel at 2.30pm for the annual IBW walk. Joining us on the day were Bee Gaik, Alison, Debz, Karen and Rohani, with the older children tagging along, wearing their 'little ones'.

As it started drizzling, we headed indoors to wait for the full attendance before proceeding to the new wing of Gurney plaza. The plan was to round the concourse area of both the new and old wing of the plaza to catch the Sunday crowd of families enjoying their weekends. Unlike most malls, there is no specific 'kiddy level' in Gurney plaza.

Walking around in a group, wearing our babies, we sure turned heads of passers-by who stared and wondered what we were doing. While there might not be a huge crowd with young families, we sure enjoyed ourselves as we finished the walk 45 minutes later and settled down for tea at Big Apple Donuts. We almost took over the whole place!

Babywearing Talk at IBU House

On Monday, September 14 2009, Malaysian Babywearers were proud to give a talk ("Introduction to Babywearing"), hosted by The Gentle Birthing Group Malaysia, to the mothers at IBU house. It was a fun morning filled with the adorable cooing of young babies and the curious questions of new mothers and "veteran" mothers alike.

We had a fantastic time introducing the ladies to the art of babywearing, explaining the benefits and demonstrating the use of several different carriers including pouches, mei tais, ring slings, wraps and SSCs.

The ladies also had an opportunity to try out several different carriers and get help with using the carriers they already own. Hopefully they went home with more knowledge about babywearing and are able to wear their little ones more comfortably!

Malaysian Babywearers are always open to giving babywearing talks at events. Do get in touch with us if you or your organization is interested. We work on a volunteer basis, but of course, we have nothing against donations made towards Malaysian Babywearers and our cause ;)
