Personalized, In-home
Babywearing Support
Our babies want to be held! Babywearing lets you do that comfortably, safely, and hands free, so the snuggles don't stop when life keeps going.
Our session is personalized to your goals, your body, and your baby. We'll start by talking through your life and needs so you have the information that's right for your specific situation.
We’ll troubleshoot your carriers so you can use what you already have with confidence. Then we can explore carriers from my library so you can experience options without having to buy a dozen carriers yourself.
We'll practice together until you feel confident, comfortable, and capable — in your own home, judgment free!

FAQs
Q: Do I need to already have a carrier? A: Nope. I will bring a selection of carriers from my library for you to try based on the information your provide when you book your appointment. If there's a certain type or brand of carrier you want to try, please let me know! I don't have every carrier ever made in my library but I will do my best to bring the one you request.
Q: I'm pregnant. Can I practice using a carrier with a big belly? A: Yes! Newborns are tiny. You'll carry your newborn high on your chest anyway, so the carrier waist band will be above your belly. If you have any concerns you can always check with your doctor first. We can also practice without tightening the carrier to keep it loose and comfy.
Q: My baby seems to hate being in a carrier. Can you still help? A: Yes. This is a common reasons people book a session. We'll look at the carrier you're using to make sure baby is comfy and chat about a few things that could be going on.
Q: Do I need to clean my house before you come? A: Please don't! I have been in the thick of parenting and I know what life looks like right now. However you are when I arrive is exactly right.
Q: What if my baby is fussy or I need to care for older kids? A: It happens. We can't predict what a baby's mood will be in the future. You can always, always pause the session to take care of your baby. I have kids too, I know how it goes. We can keep chatting while you change a diaper, feed the baby, or attend to older kids. We're parents. We make it work! We will practice using the carriers with a weighted demo doll. Don't worry about trying to get a fussy baby into a carrier you've never used before. We'll get baby settled and then you practice with a clear head and a doll.
Q: What if I had a C-section or have Pelvic Floor concerns? A: No problem. There are tons of carriers on the market. I can show you several options that won't put pressure on your abdomen and you can try them out.
Q: What if I need to reschedule? A: I understand things come up. You can reschedule through a link in your confirmation email or by emailing me at carriedcloseatx@gmail.com.
Q: What if I have questions after our session? A: I'm always available for quick questions through email (carriedcloseatx@gmail.com). If you are wanting to try more carriers on or go over carries in depth you can always book another session with a return client discount.
