Whether you're brand new to baby carrying or a seasoned veteran, there's something for everyone to learn with the extensive foundational knowledge in Part 1 of "Babywearing as a Perinatal Professional."
SO MANY carrier questions are covered: baby slumping, pressure points, strap adjustments, retightening on the go, and many more.
WHY carriers were built the way they were, and their history, helps inform how we use them and how we address troubleshooting.
Breastfeeding while babywearing in a variety of carrier styles and in different positions. Help your clients feel more confident in combining these skills!
Next steps for the most curious FOMO babies. When to "face out" in a carrier, how, and what safety tips to know.
Woven wrap sizes, anatomy, wrapping terms, fibers, weavers, beginner carries... there's a LOT but we'll break it all down!
When to begin back carrying for each carrier type, several methods for executing a back carry, and safety tips.
We'll walk through all the steps to transform a toy store baby doll into a weighted stand-in, plus items you can use if using a doll (or real baby!) isn't possible.
Where to get professionalal demo dolls, the best carriers to have in your collection, and insider info on educator discounts for all the gear you need.
Teaching babywearing goes above just knowing HOW to use a carrier. How do you approach educating a new parent and caregiver? What background information informs your teachings? How do you know just how much to share with the new babywearer and how much information is overwhelming?
How an infant's milestones of development inform their behavior in a carrier, as well as how their reflexes, physiology, and evolutionary background can be influencing our teachings.
Engage with your clients in a client-centered way, giving them the most valuable tools (in addition to the babywearing ones!!) to accomplishing the Big Goal.
We don't have to fix everything! Why holding back can be your greatest asset to accomplishing the Big Goal with your clients.
What it means to suggest (or go along with) alternative carrier uses, why you should do it (or not), when you should do it, and how to accomplish it safely while minimizing your liability.
Why "telling them everything" takes away from the Big Goal.
Specific carriers for wearing TWO babies: their uses, pros, and cons; wearing two babies in two singleton carriers; and extra safety and convenience tips for twin wearing.
What's the "Big Goal??" It's gaining confidence, which you'll do when you join the course!
