Babywearing Queenstown
Parenting is definitely no walk in the park. For many, the early years are full of challenges, adjusting to the new normal and learning on the fly. But for many of us, it has all been made so much easier with a good baby carrier, allowing us to meet our needs whilst taking care of our little ones. They are not the magic solution, they are a parenting tool that helps make our day to day lives easier, while providing responsive, nurturing care.
Plus, the close contact of babywearing builds trust and a feeling of security, laying the groundwork for strong, healthy relationships.
Meeting your little one’s needs for closeness teaches them the world is safe and you’ll always be there.
Touch releases the oxytocin hormone creating calming feelings of love and connection for both carrier and little one.
All this helps optimal brain development, builds confidence and helps your little one thrive!
Babywearing Queenstown is a newly established not-for-profit charitable branch of Babywearing Aotearoa. Our kaupapa is to support local whānau by making baby carriers accessible to all — helping parents and caregivers build strong connections with their pēpi through the comfort and closeness of babywearing.
As part of our service, we offer carrier fittings, support and a lending library to ensure every family can access safe, comfortable babywearing, regardless of financial barriers. In Queenstown, there are limited stores where families can try or purchase baby carriers, so having trusted brands available in our library gives parents the chance to experience the fit and quality first-hand.
If you have any baby carriers your whānau are no longer using and are still in good, safe condition that you would like to donate, please get in touch!
Babywearing Queenstown is also hosting community walks and gatherings for families to join in, connect and keep active in our beautiful surroundings so well-suited to babywearing.
As a community group, we are passionate about sustainability, whānau wellbeing, nature and nurture.
Hold them close, kiss their sweet faces, snuggle them tight, and wear them proudly. Babies thrive on connection, comfort, and love, and there is no such thing as spoiling them with too much attention and providing the closeness they crave.
