Babywearing International of Madison is a volunteer group committed to promoting the benefits of safe and accessible babywearing.

We provide how-to support as well as activities and conversation for car

Anyone interested in babywearing from newbies to addicts is invited to attend a meet-up! BWI of Madison meets regularly on the 3rd Saturday from 10:30 am-12 pm, as well as one weekday per month to discuss safe and easy babywearing.

Hi all! We have a meeting today at the Fitchburg library, starting at 10:30. Due to a variety of unforeseen issues for our volunteers, we will have limited staffing at our meeting, and we will need to end the meeting early, at 11:30. Check outs will begin early in the meeting. Thanks for understanding!

As we near the end of the year, we have so much to be thankful for and to celebrate. We’re proud to unveil our new logo and website. We are incredibly thankful that despite the hardship BWI and other babywearing groups have faced this year, our babywearing community continues to thrive.

We’re thankful for your patience and support through this transition, and we’re so happy to see your enthusiastic participation continue online and at our meetings.

We’re so thankful for the generous carrier library donation we received, which has allowed us to offer so many exciting new options at our meetings and share our abundance with our community partners.

We’re also incredibly grateful for the amazing volunteers - past and present - who built this community and continue to further our mission.

But most of all, during this season of celebration and reflection, we are thankful to be able to continue serving our community through education and outreach as Madison Babywearing!

Madison Babywearing holds one weekday and one weekend meeting per month, along with additional outreach events and smaller workshops.
