Baby carriers are essential for not only their functional purpose (carrying baby around), but they an assist with parent-infant bonding and greatly improve parental mental health. We are focused on educating parents, caregivers and professionals in the community so we can get more families utilizing these wonderful tools comfortably and safely.
After my first child was born I tried so many different carriers. He was a baby who needed to be in close proximity to me all the time and baby carriers really helped to keep me sane! But finding which ones worked for both of us and figuring out how to use them wasn't easy. After my journey I realized I wasn't alone and began helping other families use carriers. I started a community babywearing group and eventually began providing carriers for sale. I've been a certified babywearing consultant with CBWS since 2013 and have also trained with the Canadian Babywearing School.
