About NatalieHello! I’m Natalie, co-founder and President of BWI of Topeka. If you are reading this, then I formally want to say welcome to our chapter! I am so happy to have you here and hope to see you at a meeting sometime soon!
Babywearing is so near and dear to my heart as I’ve been actively wearing my children for over 8 years. It started out as a cool way to go for a walk with my first baby into complete and shear survival and a way of life now with four kiddos. I love learning new and safe ways to wear littles with BWI and that within this organization, I get to help mamas, papas, and caregivers learn the art of babywearing in our local community. In addition to being a Volunteer Babywearing Educator with BWI of Topeka, I serve as a leader with the local La Leche League chapter, and I am also a DONA trained childbirth doula and attend births when I’m not baby mooning myself. I am passionate about informed choices when it comes to mamas and babies. With (babywearing) love, Natalie |

My Favorite Carriers• Didymos Indio weave
Currently, I’ve been bitten by the woven wrap bug! • Pouch Sling I also am still hoarding the pouch sling my dad bought for me 8 years ago just before my first was born. It’s never leaving us! • Mei Tai I’ve had it since my second child was a small baby about five years ago that I cannot wait to wear my fourth in. |

• I LOVE getting to spend time with my kids and enjoy watching them just be them. It is my greatest story getting to be their mama. |
