Add a weighted demo doll to your Babywearing Consultant toolkit
There are so many reasons it can be helpful to have a weighted demo doll in your teaching kit. It gives you something realistic to demonstrate with, and it also helps caregivers practice with something that feels much closer to a real baby.

A quick update
Right now, we do not have any dolls in stock.
The dolls we’ve offered in the past came from Europe, and between shipping, customs, and ongoing tariff-related cost increases, it has simply become too expensive and unpredictable to continue ordering them the way we have in the past.
We’re still hoping to find a better long-term option, ideally something U.S.-based, but for now there are no dolls available to order.
If that changes, we’ll absolutely share an update.

If you’re currently in Foundations and need a doll
Here are a couple of options that may help in the meantime:
• No demo doll? Use the rice + bean hack
We’re also looking into connecting current students with previous graduates who may want to sell their dolls.
I should have more of an update on that by mid-May 2026. If you’re signed up for the Foundations Training, you’ll receive an email from us once we know more.
