I am now a fully qualified babywearing consultant. Earlier this year, I invited teachers from the German Clauwi babywearing school over to Cambridge, and a few of us attended the course and gained the qualification required to become a fully fledged babywearing instructor.
It was very enjoyable and absolutely fascinating to learn all the background required to teach, including why infant are designed to be carried, the physiological development of the baby spine and hips, as well as lots of babywearing techniques and tips.
Over the last few months as my daughter Charlotte grew from being a newborn to a soon to be one year old baby, I have enjoyed experimenting with every sort of sling available, and my sling collection is now over 30!
What a lovely blog! I can certainly recommend Sophie to anyone reading this. She is very knowledgable, kind and helpful. Having her visit you in the comfort of your own home makes it easy to try before you buy, learn all the tips on how to carry your baby comfortably and no high-pressure sales techniques! Why not have a go at baby-wearing - the advantages are endless!
ReplyDeleteThank you Sophie for helping other mothers to carry their babies comfortably. Adjusting the straps and centring one's baby can make all the difference between enjoying baby-wearing or straining with it. After a whole century of pram developments it's good to rediscover the advantages of having our babies close to our bodies, not because there is no other way but out of choice.
