Born to Carry is a collective of trainers led by Anne McEwan and Rosie Knowles. All of our trainers are highly experienced and passionate about carrying and teaching.

We train babywearing consultants to become peer supporter trainers, and we also train hospital neonatal staff to become advanced babywearing practitioners who can train their own staff within their units.
