Because it offers many benefits for both parents and babies! Here are a few reasons why you might want to participate in a babywearing workshop:

1. Learning safe babywearing techniques: The workshops allow you to learn different safe babywearing techniques for your baby. Whether using a wrap, baby carrier, sling, meh-tai, etc.
2. Finding the right baby carrier: Physiological babywearing workshops allow you to try out different carriers: baby carriers, knitted wraps, woven wraps, slings, no-knot wraps, Mei Tai or Meh Dai, ring slings. You can discover what works best for you and your baby in the best way: by trying it!
3. Comfort for your baby: Babywearing can help calm and reassure babies. The workshops will teach you how to position your baby optimally for their comfort and well-being. Enjoy those wonderful naps!
4. Comfort for parents: Learning proper babywearing techniques can also help you as a parent. You reduce the risk of back and shoulder pain by carrying your baby correctly.
5. Strengthening the parent-child bond: Physiological babywearing promotes a close bond between parent and baby. It's an opportunity to share special moments and establish physical and emotional communication with your child.
6. Ease of movement: Physiological babywearing allows parents to move more easily with their baby. For shopping, hiking, or simply going about their daily activities, the motto is: FREE HANDS, FULL HEART
7. Promotes breastfeeding: Babywearing can facilitate breastfeeding by allowing easier access to the mother's breast.
8. Community support: Babywearing workshops are often led by trained and certified babywearing instructors who can offer valuable support to parents. It's also an opportunity to meet other parents and share experiences.

In summary, a babywearing workshop can be an excellent resource for parents who want to learn how to carry their baby in a physiological, safe, comfortable, and practical way, while strengthening their bond with their child. It can also offer an opportunity for socialization and support within the parenting community.

It is normally recommended to take an in-person babywearing course with a certified babywearing instructor before the birth of your baby to find the carrying method that suits you.

But since we know that nothing beats real-world experience (and that once the baby arrives, many things you thought you knew are called into question... #reallife ), we recommend taking advantage of our free online babywearing course, offered with every purchase of a carrier after your baby's arrival. It will help you better position your baby, whether in a sling or an ergonomic carrier. You can book your slot here .

Chaque famille a des besoins différents. Pour choisir la bonne monitrice de portage, nous vous conseillons de vérifier :

• sa formation en portage physiologique ;
• son approche pédagogique ;
• les moyens de portage qu’elle maîtrise ;
• les avis des familles accompagnées ;
• les formats d’ateliers proposés ;
• sa proximité géographique.
  

Une bonne monitrice prendra toujours le temps d’adapter ses conseils à votre bébé, votre morphologie et votre quotidien.

Le portage physiologique respecte la posture naturelle du bébé tout en favorisant la proximité avec le parent porteur.

Bien installé, bébé bénéficie :

• d’un maintien adapté ;
• d’une position physiologique des hanches ;
• d’un environnement rassurant ;
• d’une transition douce après la naissance.

Le portage facilite également le quotidien :

• mains libres ;
• déplacements simplifiés ;
• apaisement des pleurs ;
• soutien du lien parent-bébé ;
• meilleur confort pour les sorties et les siestes.

In summary, an in-person babywearing class is recommended before the baby arrives, but the babywearing class offered at Bud and Blossom will allow you to get comfortable after the birth!
