Pregnancy and newborn sling use:

Part one: Learn to use the sling to support your bump and your pelvis during the final months of pregnancy and at the same time learn simple new born ties, so you and your partner carry your new born from day one

Part two: after the birth, learn additional front carry positions and techniques

What do I provide?
Courses include various baby sling tying techniques and practical exercises. Special attention is given to colicky babies, hip dysplasia and spinal support. I provide practice slings for you. Courses are available for front or back carrying. Should you be undecided about carrying, you may borrow a sling for a week for a CHF 50- deposit.

What do you provide?
Yourself and the baby. Should you already own a sling, you are encouraged to bring it to the course, regardless of the length and brand.

Where and when is the course?
I can come to your house (within Basel/local areas) or we can find a mutually convenient location, at a time convenient for you and your baby. Each course lasts around 1hr 30.

How much does a course cost?
CHF 60 per baby (except two part pregnancy/newborn course which costs CHF 85). Discounts are available for multiple, staged courses, eg (courses 1, 2 and 3) booked at the same time but taken at suitable and convenient times in the future, as the child grows.
