*New* Baby-Wearing Group and Baby Carrier Lending Library
July 2026: *Currently accepting donations of baby-carriers, wraps and slings*
Lucille May currently holds baby wearing groups in the Asheville area and is working on building a baby carrier lending library to create more access for the community. She plans to become certified as a Babywearing Educator with the Center for Babywearing Studies later this year. She is passionate about babies being integrated into all of the parts of our lives and creating more ease for caregivers and connection for our babies! Babywearing can help to keep your baby close, connected, safe while you are out in different settings. It is a simple, ancient way to both build relationship and foster bonding with our babies, while also having our hands free to work or play.
Reach out to Lucille to get connected to future groups and lending opportunities.
Lucille May: Baby Wearing Group Leader
"I have been learning about babywearing since mid 2025 when I became pregnant with my first child. I nannied a young baby for many months during my pregnancy and while caring for her learned and practiced with different carriers. I felt how supportive it was for my changing pregnant body to be able to distribute the baby's weight rather than carry her in my arms for long periods. Now with my own child, I have experienced the connection, freedom of movement, and safety that babywearing provides us around the house and out in public. So far self-taught through videos and experimenting, I plan to continue my education by taking the Center for Babywearing Studies' certification course in fall of 2026. "
