Emma Woods at Held Babywearing in Chesterfield and North East Derbyshire

Hello! I’m Emma and I’m so excited to be sharing my love of babywearing with you. From gingerly wrapping my newborn nephew in a stretchy wrap in 2018 to supporting families volunteering at the local sling library as a peer supporter; my passion for and knowledge of babywearing has grown alongside my own two children. With my children now getting more independent I decided to train as a babywearing consultant in April 2024. I’m keen to share the beauty of babywearing with parents and carers in my local area and more widely.

Held Babywearing offers 1-2-1 consultations, workshops and sling hires. I also offer advice and support on reusable nappies and period products. More information is available at www.heldbabywearing.com

I also offer free sling advice and fit checks at a monthly Infant Feeding support group at Dronfield Library. See my Instagram for dates/times.
