Babywearing Education and Community Support
Carry with Confidence. Connect with Community.
Because:
❤️ Babywearing is a safe, natural, and developmentally appropriate practice.
❤️ Babywearing is a skill that can be learned, practiced, and adapted over time.
❤️ Every caregiver deserves education without judgment.
❤️ Babywearing is for everyone—including parents, grandparents, foster parents, adoptive families, birth workers, medical professionals, and other caregivers.
❤️ Safe carrying can be adapted for people of many body types, abilities, and family situations.
Whether you’re expecting your first baby, adjusting to life with a newborn, or looking for a more comfortable way to carry your growing little one, we’re here to help.
Connected Nest’s Babywearing Education & Support Program provides judgment-free education, hands-on guidance, and ongoing support so caregivers can safely and confidently use baby carriers that fit their family’s unique needs.
Babywearing isn’t about doing it perfectly—it’s about finding what works for you while building confidence, connection, and community along the way.
Join us at an upcoming workshop or schedule individualized support to discover the carrier and techniques that feel right for you.
Why Babywear?
Use of carriers has supported families across cultures for generations. When practiced safely, it can help caregivers stay connected while keeping their hands free for everyday life.
Many families find that babywearing can:
- Promote bonding and closeness
- Support responsive caregiving
- Make everyday tasks easier
- Encourage confidence in caring for a new baby
- Offer flexibility for families on the go
- Create opportunities for connection with other caregivers
Every family is different, and our goal is to help you discover what works best for you.
Community Workshops & Meet ups
Our interactive workshops introduce caregivers to different carrier styles, safety principles, and practical techniques in a welcoming, supportive environment.
Workshops are offered through Connected Nest and in partnership with community organizations such as:

We love to collaborate with community resources and families.
Our Carrier Library
Trying multiple carriers before purchasing can make all the difference.
Connected Nest maintains a growing collection of baby carriers available for demonstrations during workshops and educational events.
Our inventory is made possible through generous community donations and is carefully maintained by our Certified Babywearing Educator.
Every carrier is:
✔ Professionally inspected
✔ Laundered according to manufacturer recommendations
✔ Safety checked before each use
✔ Carefully selected to provide a variety of options for different families
