Because doulas are usually in a position of teaching new skills, babywearing is so frequently part of that! Babywearing educators can be valuable partners for doulas, as they can provide in-depth knowledge on the practice of babywearing and its many benefits and safety factors. In this podcast episode, we will explore what doulas should know about the benefits of babywearing educators and how they can work together to support families.
Today’s episode is with Katie Shamp. Katie is an all-around awesome human and an absolute wealth of knowledge around babywearing and lactation among other things. Babywearing educators are under-utilized by doulas so this is an important episode to see the benefit and need to know and refer to babywearing experts.
OUR GUEST Katie Shamp:
I’ve been working in baby- and lactation-land since 2012 at The Breastfeeding Center. A lot of my work supporting our community is behind the scenes, sourcing and vetting our product selection, honing our systems, and supporting our staff with technology—though my favorite excuse to close my computer is working with families on babywearing! I trained with the Center for Babywearing Studies in 2019, and became a Certified Breastfeeding Specialist in 2021. My passion for this work is centered in reproductive justice: I believe all people deserve access-to, and autonomy-in their choices about whether and how to grow their families, followed by respect, and support in realizing their goals. At home I love to splash in any body of water I can find, go on crisp early morning bike rides, and enjoy backpacking with my family and doggo.
