If you’re just getting started with babywearing or are ready to learn a new skill, it can really help to find some in-person babywearing help! This list will help you find a babywearing group or babywearing educator near you.
There are babywearing educators and babywearing groups all over the world that can work with you in person. They can help you find the perfect carrier, check the fit of your carrier, teach you how to do a new carry, and help you find baby caregiving community in your area.
Working with your local educator beats watching a YouTube video any day! Hopefully you can find an educator near you. If not, my “Using your Carrier” page might also be helpful.
If you are a babywearing educator or lead a babywearing group and do not see your name or group listed here, please fill out this form and I will add you! 🙂
