About me
Be their rock
Hello! I’m Karole Fristensky, mom of three kiddos. When my first was born in 2017, I quickly learned that she wanted to be held all. the. time. Armed with a stretchy wrap and YouTube, I delved into the world of babywearing and gained confidence each time I brought my baby close, wrapped her up, and headed out into the world. I learned about ring slings, buckle carriers, woven wraps, and more. When my second was born in 2019, babywearing had become one of my most important parenting tools, right next to outside time and coffee.
I often joked that my babies were little barnacles, refusing to let go of me. It could be overwhelming sometimes, when I just wanted my body back to myself. After a while it occurred to me – if they’re my barnacles, then I need to be their rock. I need to be a strong, steady, stable place for them to land.
Our children need a caregiver who is attuned to them, who is calm and steady, solid and present. We caregivers need to be able to hold our children without feeling like our arms are going to fall off, and without harming our core and lower backs by holding our kiddos in less-than -ergonomic ways.
My goal is to help put another tool in the parenting toolbox, and support families in their babywearing journey. Together, we can demystify babywearing and help you and your little ones stay close and connected.
