Holding, Carrying, and Wearing Your Baby

Very informative. A lot of basics and what some may refer to as "common sense" but I am okay with hearing the fundamentals to reinforce good habits and parenting behaviors.

So helpful. I really liked seeing all the different holds demonstrated through video. Found the info really useful, particularly the advice about what to do when your arm gets tired or you need to brush you teeth, etc. Love the "common questions" section.
