24: Babywearing 101 for Pregnant Moms | Why It Matters & How to Prepare Before Birth

If you’re pregnant and preparing for life after birth, babywearing is one of the most supportive tools you can learn before your baby arrives.

In this episode of The Postpartum Prep Podcast, I’m joined by Jacqueline Fiedler, certified babywearing consultant and founder of Your Babywearing Bestie, for a deeply grounding conversation about babywearing for pregnant moms - what it is, why it matters, and how it supports both you and your baby in the early postpartum weeks.

We talk about babywearing not just as a practical tool, but as a powerful way to support postpartum healing, nervous system regulation, and the mother-baby bond - while also making everyday life with a newborn more manageable.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why babywearing is biologically normal and especially supportive in the newborn period

• How babywearing supports postpartum recovery, mental health, and bonding

• Common myths about “spoiling” your baby - and why holding your baby matters

• What pregnant moms should know before choosing their first baby carrier

• Babywearing safety basics every expecting parent should understand

• How to think about baby carriers based on your unique postpartum reality

Whether you’re pregnant with your first baby or preparing for another postpartum season, this episode will help you see babywearing as an intentional, supportive part of your postpartum plan - rather than something you figure out once you’re already overwhelmed.

✨ Perfect for: pregnant moms, expecting parents, first-time moms, and anyone preparing for postpartum life.
