Babywearing Consultations

Babywearing consultations
As a trained babywearing consultant, I can help you explore the different baby carrier options for your family, giving you advice to ensure comfort and safety for your little Snugglebug. Consultations are held in our outside dedicated home office space in BH11, at one of our regular events, virtually or in your home.
Which appointment is best for me?
Fit Check*
A fit check can help you feel more confident with one carrier you already own. Through checking it has been set up correctly or by troubleshooting any issues you are having, we can ensure it is fitting safely and comfortably for you and your baby.
** Available at events or via WhatsApp - for an in depth fit check in a 1:1 setting choose a Mini Consultation.**
Try a couple of options from our sling library or have a fit check on your own carrier. This appointment is also suitable for learning to hip carry or feed safely in your sling.
Try a few of options from our sling library, with the option to try them with our weighted demo dolls before trying with your own baby. This appointment is also perfect for those looking to learn to use a ring sling or back carry. Stretchy wraps or Woven wraps can also be looked at in this appointment, but this will likely take up the whole hour.
If you are new to babywearing or want to look at a range of options , including wanting to explore stretchy/woven wraps, then a 1.5 hour babywearing consultation would be the most suitable option. The extra time is also beneficial if you wish to try a wider selection of carriers in our sling library.
Sometimes having a bit of extra time can be helpful if you have no idea of what you are looking for or if you are looking for multiple options for your family.
--------------------------------------------------------------
These sessions can, for some locations, be held in your home, with an additional travel fee applied. *Book for a session held at our studio in BH11, or send us a message to look at options for us coming to you.
Home visits
Home visits are charged based on time taken to travel - for example, a ten minute drive to you, an hours appointment and a ten minute drive home would be charged at my 1.5 hour rate. Home visits are available on Mondays between 10am and 2pm (subject to availability).

What virtual support can I access?
Live outside of Dorset? Unable to drive yet? Looking for flexible support?
As a mum, I understand that sometimes days don't go to plan... so having flexible support from your own home can be incredibly valuable.
