Today we introduce you to our South Australian Product Trainer, Helen. Helen is a seasoned Babywearing mother of Seven Little Australians: Steph 26, Zak 19, Jazz, 17, Julz 12, Zsa Zsa 8, Stella 5 & Zen 3.
We sat down with her recently and asked her a few questions about babywearing and her experiences.
Currently, what is your preferred ERGO position?
Always love front carrying the best.
What do you most enjoy about Babywearing?
Having my baby close to me, those cuddles are just the most delightful thing! and being able to use both my hands to multi-task!
What you think you bring to the role of a Babes in Arms Product Trainer?
Lots of experience as a mother of seven little Australians, a baby products consumer myself for the past 27 years and a Doula & Childbirth Educator for the past 13 years. I can certainly say I have owned and loved many baby carriers. People always ask my opinion and I often demonstrate my many carriers to many parents and parents to be! I have seen all kinds of structures and I am fortunate to have been able to have little ones who benefited from the latest models available as back in 1983 there wasn’t as much choice as we have now.

Funniest/Most unique/most enjoyable experience wearing your ERGO?
Funniest and unique is when my little guy Zen was 2.5 years old. He tried to jump out while he was on my back (of course he couldn’t). The most enjoyable is the first year when it’s so easy to breastfeed and cuddle a little one to sleep in the ERGO!
Anything else you would like to add?
If you are only going to buy one carrier, make sure it’s an ERGObaby for versatility, durability and adjustability from newborn until preschool (well my 5yo is tiny and she still gets into my carriers for cuddles and holds).
