Want to wear your baby but have no idea where to start? Or maybe you already have a carrier but aren't quite sure how to use it? Babywearing 101: Find Your Fit is your introduction to safe, comfortable, everyday babywearing, with personalized guidance to help you find what works best for you and your little one.

We'll cover the foundations of safe babywearing, including airway awareness, supportive positioning, hip positioning, carrier fit, and how to recognize when your baby is positioned safely and comfortably. You'll also get an overview of the wide world of baby carriers! We'll explore the seven different carrier style categories, discuss their unique benefits, and demonstrate a variety of options so you can see how different carriers work in real life.
