This workshop sets you up for success babywearing your little one from birth. I recommend it for families expecting from 20 weeks pregnancy through the newborn stage.
In this 90min workshop we will dive into understanding why babywearing is such an important, empowering, and supportive resource for new parents and why babies crave it. I will explain what ergonomic babywearing is and how to do it, what to look for in carriers, and how to use various types of slings and carriers. I will also provide printed material to help guide you at home, links to resources and video tutorials, and tips for troubleshooting with a fussy baby. We will practice with my carriers and wraps and demo dolls. You are welcome to bring any carriers/wraps you already have.
NEXT: Wednesday, 11 December, 18:00-19:30. €45 (inc VAT).

Held at Monti's World in De Pijp.
Offered every-other month.
Come for a custom fit-check and my guidance and enjoy a play session with your little one at Monti's World. During the 1.5 hour session I will work individually with each family for about 15-minutes. You can also learn a lot by listening to what is shared with each family. I will check to see if your little one is fitting the carrier correctly and ergonomically and suggest improvements for your own comfort. I will provide suggestions for making babywearing easier. While you wait for your turn you have the playroom to enjoy and free coffee and tea. The cost covers both the fit-check and the play session for one adult and one child. All ages are welcome.
Please keep in mind that this is not meant to be the equivalent of a consultation, it is not possible in the amount of time to teach how to use a new carrier or sling. The fit-checks are meant to help you optimise the use of a carrier you are already familiar with.

I can also show you other carriers and discuss their benefits/restrictions to help you decide if you are looking to buy a carrier.

**I’m passionate about ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to learn how to wear their babies safely and comfortably. If you are interested in hosting a workshop for a non-profit / community outreach group please contact me about reduced-rates or free workshops!
I do not currently lend out carriers. However, I do provide resources to help you find affordable used carriers for sale online. I believe cost should not be an obstacle to anyone wanting to wear their baby. Please reach out to me if you are needing more babywearing resources to be successful but are finding cost or access (distance/time) to carriers and education to be an obstacle.
For a schedule of babywearing classes & community events around Amsterdam please see the Calendar.
Please let me know what you are hoping to learn or how I can help you. I look forward to hearing from you!
