Mindful
Baby Care
Learn how to both care for your baby and nurture your bond
You are expecting a baby, just became parent(s) or are a caregiver of a newborn?
This course not only teaches you the basics of baby care such as changing diapers, washing your little one or holding and wearing it. Beyond that, this course has a mindful approach to baby care based on Dr. Emmi Pikler’s concept of respectful care.
Baby care is much more than just a matter of hygiene: it is full of moments of togetherness, affection and undivided attention. In addition to keeping your baby clean, this mindful approach to baby care can strengthen the bond with your baby.
As a certified baby wearing consultant, I will also show you how to use a sling or a baby carrier in an ergonomic way for both you and your little one.
