I am really proud and happy to welcome The School of Babywearing™ to Lactivist as a site sponsor, they join the other companies who keep this website running on the list of Lactivist Friendly Businesses.
The School of Babywearing™ is a social enterprise that runs a variety of training courses for parents, professionals, businesses and other interested organisations about wearing babies and children in slings and baby carriers. As a social enterprise, they use their profits to fund the work they do. Their mission is to spread the word about the benefits of babywearing widely throughout the UK and they do this through all their activities which include providing babywearing training courses, distributing literature and other resources and supporting babywearing consultants.
They are booking onto their first round of courses at the moment which are running in November in Cheshunt, Herts.
There is a one day Peer Support course, aimed at those people who offer babywearing support to parents in a group setting, such as antenatal classes, postnatal groups, etc. and a Babywearing Consultancy course which runs over one evening and two days, allowing people to qualify and become insured as a Babywearing Consultant. They will work with parents on a group and individual basis and can earn a part-time income while working very flexibly around the needs of their own children.
As part of International Babywearing Week this week, they have extended their Early Bird booking discounts.
The website at www.schoolofbabywearing.com has some excellent resources and very soon they will be launching some sling colouring pages which are beautiful illustrations of parents and babies in a range of different slings.
