Choose your baby wearing carefully

Welcome to my new Episode with Anika about babywearing in Japan.
Anika is originally from Germany and lives in Japan since 2012 and has a German-Japanese family.  Anika is not only the founder of Ginkgoleaf‘s, a German blog for German-speaking parents in Japan, but she also works as a babywearing consultant, which is today’s topic!  We are discussing multiple questions :  Why is it so difficult to find the right carrier in general and here in Japan?

How to find local babywearing consultants who speak English?
What babywearing brands are available here in Japan?
