Carrying babies in arms (and carrying car seats on one arm) day after day often leads to stress injuries and chronic back and shoulder pain. For centuries though, and still today in some cultures, people have worn their babies tied to them with simple piece of cloth to keep the baby close to their heart and still attend to the normal activities of daily life. Many parents in our culture have again returned to the ergonomic, practical, and bonding benefits of wearing their baby.

Come learn from a professional about the myriad of popular options for baby wearing, from the Ergo, to pouches, rebozos, ring slings, and Mei Tais. Get a chance to try them all on with experienced guidance, and learn some of the lesser known benefits along the way (including healthy spine development, and preventing "flat head" syndrome).

This class is best taken after your baby arrives, when you can try the options on together, but may be taken by expectant parents, too, interested in planning ahead!
