What is the best baby carrier for a newborn?

How can I safely put my baby in a carrier?

This 2-day workshop is intended for those who are working as Prenatal and Postpartum educators. It is aimed at improving your skill set with woven wraps, and increasing your ability to teach wrapping through better understanding of wrap mechanics, and demystifying wrapping terminology. We will cover a series of front, hip, and back carries with both a short and long wrap – leading up to fancy finishes at the end of the second day. You will leave feeling confident in your wrapping skills, and your ability to teach wrapping. No prior woven wrap experience is necessary.
