Meet The Carrying Midwife
Mum of 3, midwife and babywearing expert
Hi, I’m Lisa. I’m a mum of 3 and a midwife with over 14 years of professional experience, so it’s safe to say I know a thing or two about babies! Over the last few years, I have supported new and expecting parents as a certified sling consultant, antenatal and postnatal teacher and starting solids facilitator. I now specialise in empowering families of all shapes and sizes to use babywearing as a tool that helps them through the highs and lows of their parenting journey.
Why should you babywear?
Strengthening the bond between baby and caregiver doesn't even scratch the surface of the benefits of babywearing. Here are just some of the main reasons why my customers LOVE babywearing:
For babies:
-
Reduces risk of SIDS and flat head syndrome
-
Supports their physical, language and emotional development
-
Aids digestive issues such as reflux, wind and colic
For caregivers:
-
More freedom by allowing “hands-free” care for their baby
-
Reduces postnatal depression
-
Perfect for contact naps
How I can help
I offer a range of services that provide babywearing support and guidance for families of all shapes and sizes. Whether you are a complete beginner in need of an in-depth consultation to get you started, or a seasoned pro looking for a fit-check with your new carrier, you will find a solution here to fit your needs.
"I was already confident with babywearing my little one in a stretchy wrap, but as she was getting bigger and heavier, I needed to build my confidence with getting her into the buckle carrier on my back by myself. She gave lots of helpful tips for getting my baby on and off my back safely. Thanks again, Lisa, for all your help!"
