Iris Božić je savjetnica za nošenje beba iz Zagreba koja radi na populariziranju nošenja kroz pisanje na edukativnom blogu nosenjebeba.com, rad na projektu Nosiljkoteke pri udruzi Nošenje beba, te kroz lokalnu FB grupu Nošenje beba Zagreb organizira druženja roditelja i beba na bebonosećim kavama i radionicama. Njena parola je: Nošenje beba je vještina. Treba ju naučiti, uvježbati i usavršavati. About me: My name is Iris Božić and I'm a babywearing consultant from Zagreb, Croatia. I'm a mother of a playful and happy toddler Adrian, a baby Egon and a wife to Alan who enthusiastically enjoys and shares babywearing love with me. Back when I was still pregnant and carrying Adrian under my heart I was wondering what I will be carrying him in when he pops into the big white world. I soon bought my first sling and learned all the benefits of babywearing out of a necessity (hence necessity is the mother of invention). My baby boy suffered from reflux and babywearing became his medicine, my ally and source of comfort for the both of us. Babywearing was not entirely an intuitive act for me, it was a skill I had to master to help him and help my family. After a few months I discovered there is a small but steadily growing babywearing community in Croatia, and it got me to a point where I had to apply for a course in Die Trageschule to learn how to teach others the skill of wearing babies, and help them cope with the big challenge of being a new parent, or caregiver. There are just a few consultant in Croatia now and I'm very happy to be among the pioneers of popularization of babywearing in my country. I'm giving open and free workshops, and running a sling library Nosiljkoteka, to spread the good word on babywearing through an open and welcoming approach. I've done several interviews and wrote articles for local magazines on babywearing, and I'm writing a babywearing blog on nosenjebeba.com ("nošenje beba" literally means "wearing babies") where I'm translating and adapting the terminology, and educating my readers on different subjects like how to wear their baby in a safe way, and how to chose the right carrier which meets their needs and desires. Now a new baby is out in the world and there are new challenges and adventures on the way. I also knit, and love to meditate between stitches. :-D

Recenzija prilagodljive nosiljke: Neko Switch Toddler

Taman kad sam postala jako izbirljiva s izborom nosiljaka nova zanimljiva toddlerica stigla mi je prije Božića.

Postala sam jako izbirljiva s modelima nosiljaka koje ću recenzirati i uopće objavljivati ovdje. Jednostavno ne želim previše negativnih recenzija na blogu, a k’o za vraga je u posljednje dvije godine nastao pravi val prozivodnje oblikovanih nosiljaka u svim kutevima EU, a i šire, koje sve nalikuju jedna drugoj kao jaje jajetu.

Recenzija i osvrt na ručno tkanje po narudžbi: PenelopeNow Handwovens

Bila sam duboko uvjerena da u Hrvatskoj nitko ne tka marame za nošenje. Pitala sam, tražila sam, odustala sam. Na kraju sam našla prekrasne Mima Handwovens iz Novog Sada. Tek sam nedavno saznala da prof. Vesna Pleše ručno tka predivne marame, a sada otkako je u mirovini za svoju strast ima i više vremena.

Čekajući Odisejev povratak iz Trojanskog rata vjerna Penelopa je morala smišljati kako da otjera prosce koji su se htjeli dočepati Odisejevog kraljevstva. Obećala je da će se udati kada istka pogrebnu košulju Odisejevu ocu, no danju ju je tkala, a noću parala…

Posjet prvoj Mađarskoj bebonosećoj konferenciji i festivalu

Poziv savjetnice za nošenje beba podrazumijeva i cjeloživotno obrazovanje i rad na sebi. To uključuje i povremena putovanja. Ovo je bilo jako uzbudljivo jer je sa mnom na Magyar Babahordozó Konferencia és Fesztivál putovalo i moje mlađe čedovište.

Evo malo riječi o tome kako je putovati na bebonoseću konferenciju s malim čedovištem, a i pokoja o tome što smo tamo vidjeli.

Mlađe čedovište (20 mj.)
