Virtual Babywearing Fit Check

Do you know how to use your babywearing item? Do you need help with troubleshooting questions about the fit of your carrier, wrap, or sling?  

This service provides a professional babywearing fit check in the comfort of your home for one babywearing item you are actively using to wear your baby.  Consultant can help with the fit of many items including but not limited to:

• Ring Slings
• Buckle Carriers
• Wraps
• Meh Dais 
• Hybrid options

Using Zoom, we will meet for 30-40 minutes with you, your baby's caregivers, and your baby to help you get a good fit with your babywearing items. If you want help with carrier set-up and features, fit help for you or your baby, and questions answered about keeping your baby snugged up close, our consultant can help. This consult option is ideal for someone who feels confident about babywearing yet needs the help of a professional.

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 consultation:

• Complete 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
• Strong wi-fi connection
• Stuffed animal, baby doll, or pillow about the size of your baby to use for practice
• Full-length mirror 
• Someone to watch your baby during the instructional learning time of the consult
