Information for retailers
DIDYMOS was founded in 1972 as the first babywearing company when Erika Hoffmann, after the birth of her twins, was looking for a practical way to manage her everyday life while remaining close to her four children. A wrap from South America in which she carried her children was her solution.
This idea quickly inspired other families and found support from midwives and paediatricians - and so she laid the foundations for the return of babywearing to our society.
