From the beginning of human history, parents have held and worn their babies for various reasons. Adriane Stare, a NYC-Based Babywearing Expert, Postpartum Doula, Lactation Educator and Mom to two boys, joins us today to talk about babywearing. We discuss the unique implications of carrying babies particularly in the first few months of life. Adriane delves into the misconceptions that surround babywearing and touches on the societal influences that impact how families view the topic.

After the birth of her first son, Adriane fell in love with babywearing - the most critical skill that she learned as a new parent. She founded Caribou Baby and Wild Was Mama in 2011, Brooklyn’s wildly popular Natural Baby and Maternity shops and educational class spaces. For more than a decade, she’s helped thousands of families find their confident, joyful groove in parenting by teaching them how to develop real skills and strategies, instead of just buying stuff and quick solutions. Her babywearing work and parenting approach has been featured widely on news and parenting platforms, including Good Morning America, The New York Times, Mother.ly and Crain’s New York.
