Cranbourne Botanical Gardens
South Eastern Babywearing Group
Choosing and using a baby carrier can be overwhelming. Our goal is to make babywearing safe and comfortable for adults and children, whatever their needs.
Our collection of demonstration carriers are available to try at our regular market stalls. We can help you select the right carrier and guide you on buying new or preloved carriers. Once you have your own, we can do a fit-check and troubleshoot any issues you might have. No fees, no sales - just support.
We bring together experienced babywearers and those just starting out, creating a supportive space to learn, share and support. Our community is a safe place to try new techniques with trained volunteers to guide you.

Breastfeeding, Babywearing, Bed-sharing and Baby-led weaning … and cloth nappies, which sadly doesn’t begin with B!
Just some of the topics we cover in conversation in our online community. But we also enjoy adult chat about things outside the care and nurture of babies and children. Life as a gentle parent is not always easy and we are their to support each other on the bad days, the bad weeks and when it all feels so hard.
