The Tummy 2 Tummy Interactive DVD will be one of the best investments you ever make in your babywearing collection. As your baby grows through different stages, you may find different styles of baby carriers suit your needs differently. One baby carrier may be best for nursing on the go, while another may be best for a quick carry in the post office, and yet another may be best for a long hike through the woods. As you encounter new kinds of baby carriers, the Tummy 2 Tummy Interactive DVD will offer all the instruction and support you need to learn how to use each new carrier with confidence.
While many babywearing products come with their own instructional DVD’s, the Tummy 2 Tummy Interactive DVD fills a unique need in the babywearing world, offering 2 ½ hours of instruction on over fifty positions in four different styles of baby carriers, without promoting any one specific brand of carriers. The Tummy 2 Tummy Interactive DVD covers all of the best kinds of baby carriers, including: Ring Slings, Pouches, Asian Style Carriers (or Mei Tais) and Simple Pieces of Cloth (or Wraps).
Producer Sharon Pickersgill was simply the mother of a toddler, ready to move on from her pouch. She wanted to learn to use an Asian Style Carrier to wear her one year old on her back, but she couldn’t find any instruction. As she looked for babywearing instruction in new styles of baby carriers, she was unable to find what she was looking for. Sharon and her husband decided to put together a non-product-specific instructional DVD – the first of its kind. They brought together four huge stars of the babywearing world, each with years of experience in their areas of expertise.
Darien from Zolowear teaches the Ring Sling section, Tanya from Kangaroo Korner teaches the Pouch section, Kelley from Kozy Carrier teaches the Asian Style Carrier section, and Tracy from Wearyourbaby.com teaches the Wrap section. The filming was completed over 5 months of taping, working around holidays and the experts’ personal schedules. Seven more months of editing completed the DVD, almost a year and a half after the original idea. Now, not only did Sharon know how to wear her toddler on her back in an Asian Style Carrier, but moms around the country and even the world would soon have the same quality instruction in their living rooms.
Each section introduces a particular kind of carrier with an emphasis on safety, and teaches positions for newborns through toddlers, separating various positions into beginning and advanced. Each section includes troubleshooting information and common babywearing mistakes. The DVD format allows the viewer to jump ahead or back to whatever section needs reviewing.
The Tummy 2 Tummy Interactive DVD will prove invaluable for babywearing newcomers who want to learn the basics or figure out which type of carrier is best suited to their needs. It will likewise teach the experienced babywearer more advanced techniques and positions. With 2 ½ hours of instruction, the Tummy 2 Tummy DVD is sure to answer all your babywearing questions!
