Babywearing Consult in Home

Regular price $125.00

Learn to babywearing in the comfort of your own home with this 90-minute one-on-one private consultation.  A babywearing consultant will travel to your home to teach you how to wear your baby.  

This consult is for caregivers who need help to decide what type of babywearing item they want to use or for families who already have babywearing gear, and need help learning how to use the items. 

During a babywearing consult, you will receive one-on-one instruction to learn how to use two of the following:

  • Buckle Carrier
  • Ring Sling
  • Stretchy Wrap
  • Meh Dai

The Babywearing Consultant will have at least two of these 4 types of carriers and babywearing demonstration dolls to use while learning.  After practice with a demo doll, the consultant will assist with helping you wear your own baby.

What to expect:

The consultant will:

  1. Contact you with available dates and times within the next 2-4 weeks to schedule a mutually agreeable time. 
  2. Email a questionnaire for you to complete.  Answer as thoroughly as possible responses for the best experience.

Usually, this consult is broken up into three parts:  

  1.  You put your baby carriers, wraps, and slings on with your baby for the consultant to assess.
  2.  Consultant gives tips or teaches techniques, typically modeling using a demonstration doll.
  3.  After practicing techniques, the caregivers try the technique with the baby with assistance from the consultant.

To get the most from your consult: 

  • Answer the Consult Questionnaire at least 72 hours before your scheduled appointment. 
  • Baby Carriers, wraps or slings you own should be ready to use
  • Quiet environment free of distractions
  • Full-length mirror nearby
  • Ideally, someone to care for your baby during the instructional learning time of the consult
