Babywearing and You

There’s a stage in toddlerhood where they want to be held constantly but might not want to be carried in a baby carrier 🥴

This is when the 🇦🇺Hackerlily HipSurfer Hipseat Baby Carrier + Bum Bag HipSurfer shined for us!

It eased the physical burden of carrying in arms, while also allowing my toddler to have the freedom he wanted 🙌

Did you know that I also provide Babywearing Consultations?

This is where I come to you and…
✨ inform you all about babywearing safety
✨ provide step by step instructions on how to use your baby carrier/s and help you master it, for now and in the future
✨ or bring a range of different baby carriers based on your needs to find your perfect option
✨ I can also support your family with any additional needs such as twins, pregnancy, medical considerations of either yourself or your baby

And all consultations also come with an e-book, instructional videos that you can refer to and ongoing phone or email support.

Our FREE Kangatraining classes are back next week and there’s still spots in each class 🙌

✨ Wednesday’s 9:30am in Murarrie
✨ Friday’s 9:30am in Wakerley

➡️ Got a toddler or preschooler? We also run a KIDS creative movement class on Mondays and Tuesdays!

🧡 Kangatraining Kids class is starting on the 13th of July in Mansfield & Tingalpa 🧡

We know the importance of movement in early childhood development and did you know that they learn to ‘think with their bodies’ before they think with words.

Our Kids class is a creative movement class for ages 1+ (and walking) to preschool.

We combine warm up and body awareness activities in a group, then move onto a fun circuit with all different props to move their bodies and then finish with a creative movement activity based on imagination and fun!

Bookings are now open for these FREE classes 🥳

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 👋

❄️ 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 🙌
