What is Babywearing? 

​

Babywearing is simply the act of carrying our children hands free! Babywearing is a universal adaptation seen in every culture around the world as tools to assist in carrying our children with greater ease.  We use babywearing as an adaptation to support our lifestyle and independence as new parents or parents of multiples, as an adaption to provide love and security to our babies when they need it most.  Becoming a parent requires huge changes to our lifestyle, and as we become parents we consciously and unconsciously adapt our lives to this new way of existing.  

 

Just like breastfeeding, this natural art takes some practice and education, but is well worth the investment.  There are innumerable benefits for modern parents and infants and are many wonderful carrier options to suit the needs of every parent and child. 

 

 

Why Babywear?

​

The benefits of wearing our babies are numerous from just the convenience of it to aid in infant development!  I could write them down for days.  Many parents (yes, we are talking BOTH mom and dad) find it so liberating to have their hands free while still meeting a child’s needs.

 

  Babies will benefit from the motion, the closeness, and the constant interaction with their parents. It is an important tool that provides countless health, social and developmental benefits to baby and increased opportunity, confidence and happiness for parents!  Babies get to explore the world from the most secure and loving location imaginable.  Babywearing can also be beautiful, soothing, challenging, interesting, and community building.  

​

Investing in learning how to wear your baby is truly a priceless skill for yourself and your family and also makes an unforgettable gift.

​

Preparing and Adapting Prenatal Session â€‹(Two 60 min sessions)
