Baby-wearing Consultations
$50/consult
*Included for Postpartum clients*
Did you receive a baby wrap or carrier that you really want to love, but just... Can't? Maybe you have seen other people walking around with tiny humans strapped to their chests, and have wondered what the deal is with that? Perhaps, you have fantasized over what life could be like, if you could only keep your baby from crying long enough to shove down a handful of potato chips into your mouth. Move over sticky grocery carts and impossible to fold strollers! We are ready to give baby-wearing a go! I provide a babywearing consultation fitted to your needs. I can help you work with what you have got by teaching proper fitting, wearing, and tying techniques. Or, I can bring my suitcase of baby- wears, and work with you while you try different styles of wraps and carriers, fitted properly to your baby and your body. Discover or renew the joy of babywearing with me!
