Babywearing Movement classes occur on a pop-up basis. Stay tuned to our Facebook page and website for upcoming opportunities!
If possible arrive early for your first class so I can help you make any necessary adjustments to your carrier. If you don’t own an ergonomical carrier, I have extras that can be borrowed for class!

Frequently Asked Questions
What Kind of Carriers Can I use for class?
A soft-structured carrier (commonly knows as a SSC) for baby’s specific age/size or a woven wrap. Stretchy/cotton wraps and outward facing carriers are not safe for babywearing movement. Heavier babies who can sit unsupported can be worn on mom’s back.
You are welcome to bring your carrier so I can assess its suitability for the class. I will also assist you in getting the best fit and comfort for you and your baby. There will be demo carriers available at each class to try out and I will soon begin renting on an ongoing basis.
INFO TO KNOW BEFORE YOUR FIRST CLASS:
Wear comfortable clothes, socks and shoes (or barefoot.)
Bring anything you’ll need for you baby or your self including a water bottle!
There is really no age limit for babies so long as every adult participating can wear their baby safely and comfortably.
