Babywearing Through the Holidays:
Staying Connected, Calm, and Present!

As a babywearing educator and a parent of four who lived through many busy holiday seasons with little ones, I can tell you that our carrier was one of the most useful tools we owned.

How have you used a baby carrier during the holidays?

Out newest blog post is a simple four minute read and can be read on the Nourish And Align website or at the link in our story ❤️

7 years ago I took this class, and this is the 9th anniversary of this training. Who else in my professional circle is TOTs trained?

It’s International Babywearing Week! ❣️

Babies come into the world expecting to be held close, and babywearing helps make that possible. Keeping your little one near not only builds connection and security, it also supports their emotional and physical development.

Research shows that being worn (especially skin-to-skin) can help babies regulate breathing, sleep better, and even ease colic or reflux. And for parents, it boosts confidence and resilience—reminding us that we are enough.

Babywearing to sleep isn’t a “bad habit.” It’s biologically normal for babies to want to nap close to their caregiver.

This week, we’re celebrating the beautiful truth that closeness is where babies thrive.

🎉On the 4th day of International Babywearing Week I’m celebrating the anniversaries of my Foundations and Progressions courses I took with the Center for Babywearing Studies. It’s been 12 years since my first Babywearing Educator’s course.

⭐️I am forever grateful for all I learned in both classes. I still offer babywearing education to my CST families

✨Meet Kate! ✨
This is 6 months celebrating the amazing Kate Hudak! Grateful doesn’t even begin to cover how I and our Nourish & Align community feel about Kate, so swipe and read along to learn all about such a stupendous CST therapist!

❤️She’s been with me as a therapist for 6 months, and I can’t imagine the practice without her. Therapist. Partner. Creative force.

What are families saying? “We always learn something when we see you.” “I’ve never seen my baby so relaxed. I’m so glad I was referred to Kate.” Your kind words say it all. Kate brings so much care, skill, and heart to every session.

Behind the Scenes 🫣 How did all the furniture get into the new office? Kate. Who hung the wall art? Kate. Who designed the website, business cards, and postcards? You guessed it… Kate.
She does it all. 😍

Kate is Always Learning This past year, Kate completed 4 CST courses, plus several online electives, all focused on supporting families. Her dedication to growing her skills means better care for the families we serve.

✨Why Kate Matters✨ In the book Good to Great, they say the secret to business success is finding the right people who share your vision and values.I found that person in Kate. She’s not just part of the practice, she’s helping shape it.

Drop a 💛 in the comments to help us celebrate Kate!!!

Happy Day 1 of International Babywearing Week! 🎉
Babywearing can increase parents’ resilience and confidence. Studies have shown that keeping baby close and skin-to-skin that parents felt more competent in responding to their child in stressful situations.

How did babywearing help you feel when caring for your child’s needs?

World Breastfeeding Week 2025! Final day!

Nourish and Align received the Silver 2025 Breastfeeding-Friendly Award from the Maryland Breastfeeding Coalition and the DC Breastfeeding Coalition!
This award recognizes businesses who have demonstrated support for breastfeeding through a conducive office environment.

08/06/2025

World Breastfeeding Week is about feeding with love and intention. Whether you breastfeed, pump, bottle-feed, or combo-feed, we honor your journey. CST is here to support whatever path you take.

08/05/2025

World Breastfeeding Week 2025! 🍼Bottle-feeding families, we see you! Craniosacral therapy supports optimal oral development regardless of how your baby feeds. Did you know IBCLCs can help with bottle feeding too?

World Breastfeeding Week 2025! 🤝
It’s not just about the mouth. Babies feed with their whole body! If there’s tension in the spine, pelvis, or diaphragm, feeding can be a struggle. CST unwinds these areas so feeding flows better.

World Breastfeeding Week 2025! 🪴
Sometimes what looks like a latch issue is actually a body tension issue. Cranial compression from birth or tongue/lip tie can interfere with function. CST gently helps restore balance.

08/02/2025

World Breastfeeding Week 2025! 🙌
We love collaborating with lactation consultants! When CST and IBCLC care work together, we can help address latch issues, oral restrictions, and feeding stress from a root level.
