Care. Comfort. Closeness.

That’s what Helina Baby is about! We are a holistic parenting company founded on the principles of babywearing.

Helina Baby believes that using a carrier is a valuable and sustainable way to facilitate a strong parent-child bond, promote healthy baby development and create independence and ease for parents.

Helina, meaning conscious in Amharic,* is the foundation and very essence of our creations. We ensure quality, for each and every product by using eco-friendly textiles and by meeting high safety standards.

At Helina Baby, we are committed to supporting all aspects of your child’s physical and emotional development.

About Ingrid

INGRID GAYLE, FOUNDER

When Ingrid became a mom, back in 2010, she fell in love with babywearing. She loved that it promoted bonding, nurtured her baby’s development, and it allowed her the freedom and mobility to travel the world — all while keeping her daughter close. Wanting to share this life-changing discovery with other parents, she became certified as a babywearing educator at The BabyWearing Institute in Utah, USA. As she began to help parents with their carriers, she observed that supportive wraps and ring slings were challenging for some to use, while user-friendly buckle carriers were often a poor fit for newborns and uncomfortable to wear. Ingrid wanted to design a single carrier that would solve all these problems and more. Ingrid set out to design a carrier that would properly support newborn babies in a healthy position, while being exceptionally comfortable and easy-to-use. Additionally, her unique background in human biomechanics and natural health (as a personal trainer and a certified holistic nutritionist) inspired her to develop a light and breathable carrier, made from 100% organic cotton*, that was designed to feel weightless and allow parents to move freely and comfortably all day. After years of research and development, the Helina Baby Carrier was finally born.
