BabyWearing Institute

We are parents and babywearing fanatics who have decades of experience.

The organizers and main instructors are a family with 5 children (soon 6), all securely attached children. They have been working in the babywearing world for many decades, carrying nieces and nephews in Germany and then of course, enjoying their own in a wrap. Their children are 10 and younger, so you can see they have been wearing babies/toddlers/children intensively for over a decade and wouldn't trade a minute of it. In the past decade Beate has done a lot of research on babycarriers and the needs of developing babies. Her material has already been taught in the last class offered in conjunction with ClauWi. (Got all put in with ClauWi instructions because nobody could tell when Beate finished translating and added her own material).  Beate is a secondary education teacher and has been home schooling. She has experience as interpreter having translated English/German for several years in different settings. She is well prepared to share the vast knowledge of research available through Europe along with personal experiences. Kurt and Beate run  childrensneeds.com and wholesale well known European brands in the USA such as Storchenwiege, Hoppediz, Bebina, Mama Poncho, and Kaiser.   They also manufacture their own developmental toys and design Suse's Kinder apparel.  Beate has been helping babywearers over the phone, email,  through her babywearing dvds, and in local classes for many years.You will enjoy her teaching style and many years of experience.
