Welcome to my new Episode with Anika about babywearing in Japan.

Anika is originally from Germany and lives in Japan since 2012 and has a German-Japanese family.  Anika is not only the founder of Ginkgoleaf‘s, a German blog for German-speaking parents in Japan, but she also works as a babywearing consultant, which is today’s topic!  We are discussing multiple questions :  Why is it so difficult to find the right carrier in general and here in Japan?

• How to find local babywearing consultants who speak English?
• What babywearing brands are available here in Japan?
• Check out the whole interview on my webpage: pregnantinjapan.com
