In this episode, Laurna and Gemma chat all about carrying siblings — whether that’s a newborn and a toddler, twins, or finding ways to meet the needs of more than one child at a time.
We talk honestly about the realities of sibling dynamics, parental capacity, and how babywearing can be a supportive tool rather than another pressure.
In this episode we cover:
👶 Carrying a newborn while caring for an older child
👶👶 Options for tandem carrying and when it might (or might not) work
🎒 Different carrier styles for different stages and bodies
💛 Using babywearing to support connection, regulation, and transitions
😮💨 Managing tired bodies, big feelings, and day-to-day logistics
We also explore the emotional side of carrying siblings — guilt, balance, and the reassurance that you don’t have to do everything perfectly to be doing enough.
✨ Gentle reminders:
• You don’t have to carry both children at once to “count”
• Switching carriers, sides, or days is allowed
• Sometimes the most supportive option is putting everyone down and resting
Whether you’re expecting another baby or already deep in sibling life, this episode offers reassurance, ideas, and permission to find what works for your family.
