Up-a-Bubba : Babywearing Consultant

About

Approved Babywearing Consultant by The Babywearing School Australia, I want to help other mums explore the benefits and find their "ah ha" moment.

Story

I come from a small town in Zimbabwe, and would often see the locals wearing their babies on their backs as they went about the day. One day our nanny took my unsettled, fussy, colicky baby and wrapped him onto my back, with in minutes he was quiet, content and asleep. That was my "ah ha" moment.
Fast forward 10 years, now living in NZ, when my second son came along I decided to attend a babywearing meet. So many options were available, ring slings, stretchies, woven wraps, mei teis, soft structured carriers, where to start? I jumped right in and emerged later with a love of woven wraps and a passion for babywearing.
It has comforted my daughter when she has been sick and I have needed to prepare dinner, it has strengthened the bond with my son as we have walked along the river and I have heard him babbling in my ear as we discuss all things we see, it has provided safety and security for many foster babies and toddlers who have arrived at my door overwhelmed and scared. I can go, I have experienced so many benefits that come with babywearing.
I would like to help you navigate your way through the different carriers so that you may find one that suites your needs, so that you too can have that "ah ha" moment and begin to experience the benefits of wearing your baby close to your heart.
