Welcome to KangaMamas! Rhode Island's own NINO group!
|
|
We are KangaMamas, the Rhode Island based division of NINO. NINO stands for Nine In Nine Out, which is inspired by the work of renowned anthropologist Ashley Montagu. In his book Touching (HarperCollins, 1986), Montagu proposed that the first nine months of an infant's life be called "exterogestation", a period that is the same length of time spent in utero. Those of us who love babywearing feel that the best way to simulate the cozy, warm environment of the womb is to carry babies in a sling or babycarrier. But too few people learn about slings in time to put this into practice. We established the RI NINO group in June 2006. We are two mothers of young babies who quickly found that babywearing worked for us. Realizing that there was no babywearing group in RI yet and wanting to connect with other babywearing moms, we decided to go ahead and formed KangaMamas, the RI NINO division. Noor and Sarah |
