First-Step®️ Method - FAQ

Enjoy cradling!

Beyond the emotional connection, using a sling distributes the baby's weight evenly across the caregiver's body, reducing strain on the arms and shoulders. Additionally, slings facilitate easy breastfeeding and allow caregivers to attend to daily tasks while keeping their little ones close.

Introduction to The Training Program

The Training Program enables you to become a First-Step® Instructor! First-Step® has currently trained and certified over 3000 instructors. Some of these instructors are employed by First-Step®, while others work in private institutions or are self-employed.

Let begin with a baby sling!

Slings are infinitely adjustable, your carry is able to be tweaked all along the length and width of the fabric for the ultimate tailored carry.

Do I have to come to Israel or can I stay at home?
