Hosted by Laurna & Gemma

In this episode, Laurna and Gemma dig into a topic that comes up often in babywearing conversations: world-facing (forward-facing) carrying positions. We explore the benefits, the safety considerations, and when this option might or might not be suitable for babies and their caregivers.

๐Ÿ‘ถ What does the research and lived experience say about world-facing carrying?
๐ŸŒ Is it overstimulating for babies?
๐Ÿ’ฌ What are the signs of sensory overload to watch for?
๐Ÿง  How does visual development factor into the choice of carrying position?

Whether you're a curious parent, babywearing enthusiast, or a professional supporting families, this episode will give you food for thought, practical tips, and trusted resources.
