🦘Babywearing

Babywearing can be very helpful and joyful, if you can find a wrap/carrier that is comfortable to both you and your baby. Babywearing can be useful in lots of different ways, such as to soothe a crying baby, to allow yourself some hands-free movement, and to hold/walk with your baby while they sleep. It can feel daunting to learn how to use a wrap/carrier, so please know there are lots of resources (online & local) available to help you.
