Although it is possible to learn to use a sling by following written instructions, video clips, or by seeking help from other babywearing parents, there is no substitute for the practical, personal focus you get in a consultation. In a consultation you can:

Join us at our next consult on 26th of June, where we will focus on using Asian-inspired Baby Carriers (Mei Tai, Podaegi and Soft Structured Carriers), on the front and on the back. This consult is suitable for babies from 4-5 months old.
