Babywearing and You

Every week for this year, we have had a special guest coming to our Kangatraining KIDS classes in Mansfield 🥰

This super chilled Kookaburra hangs out on the branch above our class and is totally fine with our toddlers and preschoolers saying hi 👋

Want to join next week? https://babywearingandyou.com.au/kangatraining-kids-toddlers-class-brisbane-east/

❄️ Winter is here (well kind of - it is Brisbane 😂) ❄️
So what’s the deal with footed onesies?

Well if they are too tight, they can affect your baby’s circulation (and they already have an immature system).

They can also activate a baby’s stepping reflex which makes it harder to achieve that optimal or ‘M’ position. Basically it looks like a lot of planking and leg straightening 🤦🏻‍♀️

If you are using a woven wrap or ring sling, it can also mean that they pop their seat!

So what are your options? 👇🏻

1. Keep rocking the onesies but go up a size AND/OR pull fabric from thighs to toes to create more space.

2. Change or choose non-footed onesies. This also allows you to monitor circulation.

3. Choose pants and socks for warmth.

And most importantly, enjoy those babywearing snuggles 🥰

Kangatraining is so much more than a fitness class 🥰

It’s also a space to…
✨ meet your mum supports
✨ to safely return to exercise
✨ to master your baby carriers (🙋‍♀️ I will help)
All while having your baby close!

We have places in all our classes and they are all FREE 🥳

Kangatraining KIDS are a creative movement class that is fun and really encourages their own sense of movement 🪩

Here’s my sons favourite action song 🎶

We combine fun warm up and action songs (like this one) with a circuit full of equipment to work on balance, spatial awareness and other gross motor skills and then we finish with one last group activity that includes a prop to tap into their creativity 🥳

🌈 Mondays 9:30am & 10am in MANSFIELD
🌈 Tuesdays 9:30am & 10am in TINGALPA

There’s no cost involved as you can tell by my yellow and blue shirt that they are sponsored by Brisbane City Council 🙌

The Babywearing Sleepy Hands 😴
I love watching babies hands in our Kangatraining class as they slowly drift off to sleep while their mum gets a safe postnatal workout 🙌

It’s such a joy to see those little hands relax and surrender to being content and asleep with the person they love most 🥰

I used to know my kids were asleep when the toys they had to hold fell to the ground - what do your babies do?

Even better, it feels like YOU time as your baby is happy and often sleeping 😴 in the baby carrier!
