Babywearing made easy. We promise.
Not sure if the fit looks right? Wondering if your baby is positioned safely? Book a free 15-minute call with one of our certified educators. No pitch, no pressure, just answers.
A real conversation, not a sales call.
Personalized Fit Check
Bring your carrier, and we'll help you get a comfy and safe fit for you and your baby. Yes, even if you're not sure where all the straps go.
Safe Positioning
From newborn rides to back carries with a wiggly toddler, we'll walk through what looks right and what to adjust to get the perfect fit.
Bring Your Questions
Tandem wearing? Carrier choice for a road trip? Nursing on the go in a ring sling? What is that strap or elastic for? Ask us anything. Truly anything.
A quick checklist before your call.
Bring your gear & goals
Any hope&plum carrier (new or pre-loved!) and a clear idea of what you want help with: first front carry, troubleshooting, back carry review, you name it. Have your baby's age and clothing size handy too.
Hands-free, torso visible
Prop your phone, laptop, or tablet so we can see your whole torso. Don't worry about your face, we need to see the carrier and baby. A mirror nearby is a nice bonus, so you can follow along.
Safe spot for baby
You won't be holding them the whole time. Set up near a bouncer, playmat, or other safe surface so you can put baby down to adjust the carrier mid-call.
Back carry? Plan ahead
If you're working on a back carry, set up near a soft surface like a bed or couch, or grab another adult to spot you. Safer for everyone, and easier for us to see what's happening.
Heads up: we'll text and email you 2 hours before to reconfirm. A quick reply lets your educator know you're coming!
Ready to prep you for real-life babywearing.
Our consults are run by babywearing educators who do this every day. They've seen every body type, every baby phase, and every "is this normal?" question you can think of.

Pick a time that works for you.
A few things you might be wondering.
Do I have to own a hope&plum carrier?
Yes, these consults are for hope&plum carriers! But it absolutely doesn't have to be new! Secondhand counts, including anything you snag on our Preloved Marketplace. Brand-new, hand-me-down, yard-sale find, all welcome.
Is this really free?
Really, really free. We believe babywearing changes lives, and the only way you'll keep doing it is if it actually works for your body. Free consults are how we make that happen.
How long is the consult?
15 minutes is the default, which is plenty for a fit check and questions. If you need more time, we'll figure it out.
Can my partner join?
Absolutely, please bring them. We love a two-wearer household and the more hands that know how to do this, the better.
What if I need to reschedule?
Life happens. You'll get a confirmation email with a reschedule link, no questions asked.
