We offer opportunities for local families to connect in real life.
Twice a month we meet at a different playground in Melbourne's south east. These gatherings bring together parents with children of all ages, in child friendly locations to keep them entertained. From newborns to school age, adults come together for support and community.
Many parents first discover our meets as they seek support for babywearing or breastfeeding. They continue coming regularly as they discover community and connection. As babies grow, families can explore the wonderful community playgrounds across the suburbs and both children and parents make new friends.
Choosing and using a baby carrier can be overwhelming. Our goal is to make babywearing safe and comfortable for adults and children, whatever their needs.
Our collection of demonstration carriers are available to try at our regular meets and markets. We can help you select the right carrier and guide you on buying new or preloved carriers. Once you have your own, we can do a fit-check and troubleshoot any issues you might have. No fees, no sales - just support.
We bring together experienced babywearers and those just starting out, creating a supportive space to learn, share and support. Our community is a safe place to try new techniques with trained volunteers to guide you.
Breastfeeding, Babywearing, Bed-sharing and Baby-led weaning … and cloth nappies, which sadly doesn’t begin with B!
Just some of the topics we cover in conversation. But we also enjoy adult chat about things outside the care and nurture of babies and children. Life as a gentle parent is not always easy and we are their to support each other on the bad days, the bad weeks and when it all feels so hard. Informal discussion on the picnic rug, beside the swings and in the sandpit are how we roll and there are tears, laughter and everything in between.
Our meets are for everyone who identifies as a parent or carer and children of all ages are welcome too.
