Babywearing is such a powerful parenting tool. I don't want fear for your child's safety, or uncertainty that you aren't "doing it right" to hold you back from all the benefits babywearing can provide. Learn how to carry your baby safely right here!

For the people who want to learn to babywear safely.

But the nearest sling meets are too far to travel, the manual that came with your carrier doesn't give you the information you need, and the internet is overwhelming with contradictory opinions and too much information it is hard to know what to trust. 

Giving you the opportunity to learn whenever you can steal a few odd minutes.  No pressure to turn up if your day goes off the rails.  No pressure to even get out of your pajamas!

Learn to safely carry your baby from the comfort of your own home at your own pace. 

Videos with closed captioning so you can watch while baby nurses to sleep, downloadable quick reference guides to jog your memory when you are out and about and tutorials that even the most sleep deprived parent can follow with ease.

Everything you want to know about babywearing safety, plus all the things you didn't even know you needed to know!

Following best practice guidelines, presented by a qualified babywearing consultant so you know you can trust the information you are learning.

The information contained in this course is intended for assistance in babywearing newborns who are full term and do not have any significant health complications.  If your child is premature or has any other significant health issues, then I recommend a one on one consultation which is tailored to your specific needs.  

This information is meant to supplement the instructions that the manufacturer provides with your carrier, not replace it.  Please always refer to the safety information contained in the manual that came with your wrap or carrier.
