FAQ

  • Who is this course for?

    Perinatal providers across disciplines — IBCLCs and lactation consultants, doulas, midwives, OB/GYNs, WHNPs, pediatric providers, babywearing educators, and perinatal mental health therapists. Each module includes role-specific implementation tools.

  • Do I need a babywearing background?

    No. The course teaches safe, feeding-supportive babywearing principles from the ground up and is designed to stay within your scope of practice, including when to educate versus refer.

  • How is the course delivered?

    Self-paced online. Five modules of video lessons with downloadable resources and handouts you can use in practice. Accessible on desktop and mobile.

  • What makes this different from general babywearing education?

    Feeding in Motion is clinical and prenatal-first. It frames babywearing as a regulation and feeding-support tool and gives you concrete ways to integrate it into routine perinatal care.

  • Is continuing education credit available?

    CE/CERP accreditation is under consideration. A decision will be announced before launch. A certificate of completion is provided upon finishing all modules.

A Framework Built for Real Life — Where Feeding Actually Happens

Feeding in Motion (FIM) is a multidisciplinary, evidence-informed curriculum that repositions babywearing as a clinical tool. What FIM trains providers to do:

  • Normalize proximity

    Help families understand closeness as physiology, not preference.

  • Teach safe positioning

    Share safe baby-carrier positioning within your scope of practice.

  • Support feeding-friendly carries

    Connect carrying to feeding access and responsiveness.

  • Build caregiver confidence

    Strengthen the regulation and confidence that feeding depends on.

By the End of This Course, You’ll Be Able To:

  • Describe the physiologic rationale for integrating babywearing into prenatal breastfeeding education — including its role in infant regulation and feeding readiness.

  • Explain how proximity, positioning, and caregiver regulation influence early feeding behaviors and breastfeeding outcomes.

  • Identify safe, feeding-supportive babywearing principles appropriate for prenatal counseling within your scope of practice.

  • Recognize common gaps in prenatal lactation education related to babywearing and attachment-informed care.

  • Integrate evidence-informed babywearing guidance into prenatal breastfeeding education in a way that is practical, culturally responsive, and individualized.
