Learn Babywearing

A Metro Vancouver based business passionate about helping parents and future parents wear their babies.

About

Learn Babywearing is run by Sarah Labou, a certified babywearing consultant/educator.

Sarah first became interested in babywearing through a family friend in England. She fell in love with woven wraps and it has been integral to her parenting. 

Sarah was so dead set on the merits of babywearing, she refused to own a stroller – she got a lot of funny looks and reassurances she could always change her mind later.

She didn’t.

Through her involvement in the babywearing and woven wrap community online, Sarah saw an opportunity to share her knowledge and passion for babywearing with others.

She earned her babywearing certification from the Centre for Babywearing Studies, and began teaching, working solely through referrals. From there came the website and so on.

Praise for Sarah

Thanks to Sarah, I can confidently back-wear my 18-month-old son (and have for many months now)! I was extremely anxious about back-wearing, especially because the instruction manuals and videos are terrifying to look at... Sarah put all my worries at ease, showed me how to use MY carrier, and showed me a bunch of alternatives in case I liked one of them better. It was a fantastic experience working with her, she's incredibly knowledgeable, sweet as can be, and the most patient person ever! You're in excellent hands, she's got your back!

My wife booked us a baby-wearing workshop with Sarah and let her know in advance that I'm a paraplegic wheelchair user. Sarah researched which carriers are typically preferred by wheelchair users, showed me the options, listened to my concerns, and found the best option for me. At the stage we were at with our son, I wanted a carrier that would act more like a seatbelt so he could sit in my lap and I could wheel - with that information, she helped us learn how to use woven wraps and gave recommendations for sizing, materials, and where to buy them. She even taught my wife how to use the wrap so we could both benefit from it. Amazing experience, will definitely work with her in the future when we have a second child - only, I'll be getting tips and suggestions from the very beginning baby stage!

I visited Sarah looking for a new carrier that could supplement the one I already had - not only did I walk away with a gorgeous Tula (that my son had a nap in when I took it out for a trial stroll), Sarah breathed new life into my current carrier by showing me a better way to arrange the straps. I can tell that Sarah has a deep respect for babywearing, as well as her clients, and she meets you where you’re at - I was really happy with her services!

Sarah was very kind helpful and patient, showing me how to baby wear. I have chronic pain from a car accident and she showed me how to wear a woven wrap which helped better distribute the weight on my shoulders and back. She is a great source of knowledge. I really appreciated the one on one attention to detail.

Sarah is passionate about helping parents find the most comfortable way to baby wear, so you can do activities that are important to your family while keeping your baby close and safe. She has a very approachable way of explaining how to safely put on and use both structured carriers and wraps, so that even new parents are able to grasp what can seem like an intimidating or complicated task. Her feedback and adjustments have helped me feel more confident when learning about different types of carriers and wrap techniques. It’s such a pleasure to know someone whose business comes from a genuine love of her craft!

Sarah is a fantastic baby wearing educator. My husband and I visited her home for an information session and left feeling so much more equipped to wear our baby. Sarah answered all of our questions and allowed us to try on a variety of different baby carriers (she has the biggest library of carriers I have ever seen!). Not once did she rush us and she made sure that we felt confident with baby wearing before we left. It's clear that Sarah really cares about what she does and we are grateful to have had the opportunity to meet her. Thank you Sarah!

I recently had a Babywearing session with Sarah that was informative and well worth the cost. She helped me try several different carriers with my 8-month-old and adjusted two carriers that I own and brought with me to be more comfortable. She sent how-to videos post session and offered to stay in contact for follow-up questions. I highly recommend to any prospective or current parents wanting to babywear!

Sarah is amazing to work with! I cannot thank her enough for coming to me and helping us find the right carrier for our baby who seemed to dislike many carriers. She’s so knowledgeable and friendly. She went above and beyond, ordered the carrier for us with discounts and dropped it off. Thank you for all the help and for your kindness, Sarah! 💕

I had a great experience with my consultation with Sarah. She brought in the carrier I was interested in trying because it wasn't in her collection yet and helped me out with my ring sling. Above and beyond service!

Sarah is really great, she explains everything well, answers all your questions. I loved that while I was using my backpack, she explained things to me using hers. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience with her, and my older daughter had a lot of fun while I was in the session. Thank you, Sarah! 🫶🏻

Sarah just knows so much about babywearing! I had a carrier I had bought myself wasn't happy with. I told her what I didn't like about it and she had so many great recommendations! We tried on a few different carriers to dial in what I did like and found a few great options that fit me and baby way better!

I booked a 1:1 with Sarah to learn how to back wear my kiddo using a woven wrap. She reviewed my technique, made recommendations, and taught me a new carry. She also brought a beautiful selection of handwoven wraps and was extremely knowledgeable about the wrap qualities. In our session, I learned about how to back carry and about woven wraps themselves - it was such a pleasure. I highly recommend her services to anyone who's looking for an instructor, or a new wrap!

Sarah Labou is the most passionate presenter you will ever encounter! She gave several Babywearing workshops at my Studio recently, and it was clear from the beginning that this isn’t just something she “does”, this is something she “lives”.

Accompanied by her partner and young child, the workshops were aimed at parents who were interested in learning about Babywearing. Some attending families had no experience and wanted an entry-level presentation, others had some prior babywearing experience and were hoping to learn about different product options and what is more/less beneficial for babies at different stages of physical development. Sarah offered something for everyone, and did so with personal attention to each situation, and an enthusiasm that can only come from the heart.

She and her partner have been wearing their baby since birth, and the at-the-time one year old “mostly willingly” served as a test model for the various products. It was great to see the products in action, and the parents appreciated the customizable approach to her presentation. She took the time to answer questions and give demonstrations, and offer suggestions for specific case-studies.

She is educated, articulate, and knowledgeable; and also just really likeable! This combination of personability and professionalism make her the perfect person to teach others about this unique and often mis-understood part of parenting. I cannot recommend her highly enough!
