Why see a babywearing consultant?

There are so many different baby carriers on the market that choosing one can be quite confusing.

As a babywearing consultant I can help you find the optimum way to carry your baby. I have knowledge about baby's anatomy and about different baby carriers and different ways to use them. I also own different baby carriers and a weighted demo doll so you can try things out even while you're pregnant.

In a consultation:

I will show you different carriers and you will be able to try them.
We will find the baby carrier which suits your individual situation best.
You will practice using the baby carrier with your baby (or with my demo doll if necessary).
You will learn what's important in a good baby carrier.
You will learn about the development of baby's spine and hip.
You will learn how and why both parents and babies benefit from babywearing.

My current stash contains different wraps (woven and stretchy in different lengths), ring slings, two mei tais, Bondolino^©, Manduca^©, Beco (4th generation).

Fees

For a standard consultation (1 parent with baby and partner) I charge € 45 for the first 2 hours and € 10 for each additional 30 minutes or part thereof.

Follow-up consultations cost € 25.

Tandem consultations (2 parents with 2 babies of similar age and needs) cost € 60 for 2 hours (so it's € 30 for each parent).

Pregnancy Offer: We will make two appointments. In the first session - when you are still pregnant - I will tell you about the benefits of babywearing and give recommendations of what to buy. We will meet again once your baby is born to practice tying your wrap or using your carrier and of course for more information. Cost: € 55 for two sessions. If you would like to come with a pregnant friend please contact me for a quote.

For special consultations, for example if you own a certain sling and just would like to learn a new way how to use it, please contact me for a quote.

As every baby and family have their own special situation there is not much point in consulting bigger groups. However, I will gladly come to your group and give an introduction to babywearing and demonstrate different carriers. Contrary to a normal consultation I won't be able to teach you using a wrap or other carrier.
Charges depend on the kind of event and are available on request.

I regularly offer babywearing classes for up to 4 parents who will learn the same wrapping technique. Please inquire at Elterntreff am Josefskrankenhaus for dates and fees.

Last but not least: If you feel that a babywearing consultation would really help you but can't afford it at the moment please contact me. Depending on your situation concessions are available.
