020: The Ultimate Babywearing Guide: Newborn to Toddler, Breastfeeding to Outdoor Adventures

We are diving into everything you need to know about babywearing: the most popular types of baby carriers, how to choose the best carrier for your baby’s age and stage, and tips for safe babywearing that supports healthy hip development. In this episode of Let’s Go Outside, I’m joined by Cassidy Eisenfeld, a certified babywearing educator, outdoor mama, and mom of three.

Cassidy shares practical advice for hiking with a baby or toddler, including front vs. back carry options, baby carriers for hiking, and why you don’t need a heavy-duty pack to hit the trail. She also shares how to breastfeed in a carrier, what to do if your baby doesn’t love being worn, and how wearing your toddler can actually help with emotional regulation on the go.

If you’re new to babywearing, curious about baby carrier options, or want to feel more prepared for outdoor adventures with your little one—this episode is packed with encouragement and real-life tips.
