International Babywearing Week is a focused opportunity to celebrate, promote, and advocate the many benefits of babywearing. International Babywearing Week is also an occasion to focus media attention on this beautiful and beneficial practice. Nonprofit babywearing groups all around the world are participating in International Babywearing Week by registering as Official Celebrating Organizations. These organizations will host many exciting and educational events throughout the week, including local awards presentations and informational meetings about babywearing for families in their communities. At the international level, Babywearing International and TheBabywearer will jointly present the Annual International Babywearing Week Awards, recognizing excellence in babywearing advocacy and education. There will also be a coordinated media outreach campaign to raise awareness about babywearing among the general public.
