Babywearing Consultant
Katie is a passionate babywearer and believes carriers are not only a registry must have, but also an important tool in the parenting tool kit. Carriers calm crying, give parents and caregivers free hands, and help create a strong bond between wearer and wearee.
Babywearing Consult for Beginners:
In this two hour consult, Katie will teach you important safety tips, familiarize you with the main types of carriers, and teach you how to use each comfortably and safely. You will get personalized carrier recommendations, and have the oppurtunity to try on several types of carriers. Katie will provide demo dolls for instruction, so this can be done prenatally or without disturbing baby.
On the Back, Advanced Wearers:
You already have the basics down, but now you want to move on to more advanced carries. Learn several methods of getting baby on your back, and practice with your own carriers as well as demo carriers. Become comfortable with baby on your back, hip, front, and facing out.
