Babywearing 101 Workshop - FREE

Come by to learn the basics on the five different styles of baby carriers. This class is ideal for those who have never worn a baby and have little to no experience with carriers. We will discuss the advantages/disadvantages of each style and concentrate on each persons individual needs as we discover the best carrier for you and your needs.

This is a casual, one hour introduction to baby slings. Topics covered include; one-shoulder vs. two-shoulder carriers, safety issues, correct carrying positions, demonstrations of the different pouches, wraps, Asian style carriers, soft-structured carriers, and ring slings. There will be an informal question and answer period followed by an informal try-on session. Get a discount of 5% off one carrier or 10% off two or more carriers you buy that day.

We ask that you please let us know if you will be attending the class. Class is FREE.

Cloth Diapering 101 FREE

You know you don't want to throw away bag after bag of dirty disposable diapers, but you haven't figured out how you will find the ease of disposables in cloth?  

Metro Minis can help. Luckily, several American companies have applied 21st century ingenuity to cloth diapering, taking into account busy lives, shrinking budgets, and environmental concerns.  
At our Cloth Diaper Class, Annie Frisbie will walk you through the world of

Cloth Diapers.

She will discuss the styles of diapers, pros and cons of each, and how they might fit into your daily life. There are cloth diapers for every budget, every personality, and every caregiver.  Annie gets into all the nitty gritty details; from figuring out how many diapers you will actually need, to dealing with the poopy diaper at home and on the go.  Plus, she shares her best tips on odor removal, washing in New York City's hard water, detergent options and convenient accessories that will make the whole cloth diapering experience easier.  She has been there, she has done that, and she will help you make an easy transition into cloth diapering.  Class is FREE!

Elimination Communication Workshop with with Koyuki Smith

We communicate with our babies about almost everything – when they want to eat, when they want to sleep, when they want to be picked up, when they want to be put down…So have you ever wondered why we don't communicate with them about their peeing and pooping?  Instead, we literally cover it up, encouraging our babies to ignore their own elimination habits until they are toddlers, filling landfills and suffering from diaper rash all the way!

ELIMINATION COMMUNICATION is a gentle, healthy, and responsive practice that encourages infants to signal their needs and parents to be receptive to those signals.  It promotes healthier attitudes towards elimination; alleviates the stress of toddler potty training; frees families from their dependence on smelly, expensive, and environmentally damaging diapering practices; and strengthens the attachment between parents and their babies.  Dr. T. Berry Brazelton, who in the 1960s pioneered what has become the mainstream approach to toilet training, had this to say about Elimination Communication in 2005: "What I wish is that more women [families!] could be free enough to do it that way."  Come to our MetroMinis Elimination Communication to explore this freedom for yourself and your baby!

Introductory Price: $15 per person/$20 per couple.
