Supporting You. Supporting Your Little One.
Joyful Movement. Meaningful Connection. Lifelong Impact.
There are only so many hours in a day. And somehow, after taking care of everyone else… you’re supposed to find time to take care of yourself too.
Some days, it feels impossible. Not because you don’t want to take care of yourself — because there simply isn’t enough of you to go around.
What if it didn’t have to be that way? What if taking care of yourself didn’t mean taking time away from your little one?
Ready to start creating more joyful ordinary moments?
That’s exactly why I created Baby Mombo™ At Home — an online membership that combines on-demand babywearing dance classes, live movement sessions, child development education, and a supportive community.
Not another workout program. Not another parenting class. A different way of thinking about this season of life.
A place where joyful movement, music, and babywearing come together to support both the caregiver and the child.
Because I don’t believe you should have to choose between caring for yourself and caring for your little one.
I believe many of the best ways to care for yourself can happen with your little one right there beside you.
Because taking care of yourself isn’t taking something away from your little one.
Reconnect
Not becoming someone new — reconnecting with the person who laughed, moved, and danced in the kitchen.
Feel Stronger
Your body isn't something that needs fixing. It already did something extraordinary.
Feel Supported
More confident, more connected — not only to your little one, but to yourself.
Feel Present
When caregivers are supported, families grow stronger too.
Does This Sound Familiar?
- You know moving more would help, but finding time to exercise feels harder than assembling a thousand Dr. Brown's® bottle pieces at 2:00 in the morning.
- You'd love to take a class, but leaving the house with a baby sometimes requires the skills of Taylor Swift’s wedding planner.
- Spending time away from your little one comes with a side of guilt nobody warned you about.
- You want to feel stronger, not "get your body back" while putting on shoes feels like an Olympic event.
- You'd love a community that understands this season of life — without one more commitment.
And even on the days when you do have the time and energy, you’re left wondering:
“Should I spend this time taking care of myself… or spending time with my baby?”
At Baby Mombo™, I don’t believe that should be an either-or decision.
What If You Didn't Have to Choose?
Somewhere between the diapers, the dishes, the endless laundry, the snacks, the appointments, the feedings, and trying to remember the last time you sat down while your coffee was still hot…it’s easy to start believing that taking care of yourself should come last.
Many caregivers receive a message that sounds something like this: Your child comes first. But sometimes it’s interpreted to mean something it was never meant to say — that you come last.
That movement is something you’ll get back to someday.
That hobbies can wait.
That joy can wait.
That you can wait.
But what if that’s not actually what your child needs most? What if one of the greatest gifts you can give your little one is a caregiver who feels supported…
who feels confident…
who laughs…
who moves…
who has opportunities to fill their own cup, too?
That’s the belief behind Baby Mombo™.
I don’t believe you should have to choose between spending time with your child and doing something that’s good for you.
I don’t believe movement should only happen after your little one falls asleep.
And I definitely don’t believe caring for yourself makes you selfish.
I believe some of the best moments happen when caregivers and children experience life together.
Moments of connection. Moments of joy. Moments that become routines. And routines become relationships.

You're Joining More Than Just a Membership
On the surface… you’re joining a membership: dance fitness classes, a growing on-demand library, live classes, Ask the Doc sessions, monthly webinars, a supportive community.
But you’re really giving yourself permission — permission to stop believing that caring for yourself has to come second. Permission to enjoy movement again. Permission to simply be present.
Because when you look back years from now…I don’t think you’ll remember how many dances you completed.
I think you’ll remember the way your little one smiled when their favorite song came on.
The afternoons spent dancing around the living room. The tiny head resting against your chest halfway through class. The laughter. The connection.
The ordinary moments that slowly became some of your favorite memories.
That’s what you’re really joining.
Why Baby Mombo™ Works
Joyful movement. Music. Babywearing. Research. Community. Support. Individually, each has value. Together, they create something difficult to find anywhere else.
It Starts With Joy
Not guilt, not pressure, not perfection. When movement is enjoyable, you come back tomorrow.
Then We Add Music
Long before babies understand our words, they're listening to rhythm and the sound of our voices.
Your Little One Is Right There
Snuggled safely against you — sharing smiles as everyday moments that become memories.
Finally, We Add Community
No one was meant to do this alone. Because when caregivers feel supported, families thrive.
Imagine a Different Kind of Day
01
Press play.
Instead of wondering if you’ll ever find time to exercise, you press play on one song. That’s it.
02
Move, together.
Your little one is safely snuggled close. Maybe they watch. Maybe they smile. Maybe they drift off to sleep.
03
Notice what changed.
Nothing about your house has changed. But something about you has — you’ve smiled, moved, taken a deep breath.
04
Let it become routine.
Not because you’re forcing yourself. Because it feels good, and your little one lights up when the music starts.

Why I Created Baby Mombo™
Baby Mombo™ didn’t begin as a business. It began as a caregiver trying to figure things out. My son was born in the middle of a blizzard (literally), we spent way too much time indoors, and I simply wanted to feel like myself again.
One day, I put him in a baby carrier, turned on some music, and started dancing. Not to create a workout — because it made both of us smile.
Every time I danced, he smiled. He laughed. And somewhere along the way, I realized: I wasn’t finding a way to exercise. I was finding a way to care for myself without taking anything away from him.
Baby Mombo™ has never been about creating perfect dancers. It’s never been about getting your body back. And it has never been about adding one more thing to your already overwhelming to-do list.
It’s about creating opportunities.
Opportunities to move. To laugh. To learn. To connect. To build joyful routines.
To better understand yourself.
To better understand your little one.
To create ordinary moments that become extraordinary memories.
Everything inside Baby Mombo™—every dance, every live class, every webinar, every Ask the Doc conversation, every resource, and every interaction inside our community—is designed with that purpose in mind.
I’m Dr. Amanda Holliday-Bembridge — though around here, most people call me “MMMMMMOOOOOMMMMMMMM!” or “Doc Holliday” (And just to avoid confusion…I’m not that kind of doctor.
)
I’m a PhD in Infant & Early Childhood Development, an Infant Mental Health-Endorsed® Reflective Supervisor (IMH-E®), educator, researcher, speaker, and founder of Doctor Teacher Mommy.
For more than two decades, I’ve worked alongside families, educators, and early childhood professionals, translating research into practical, everyday strategies that help adults feel more confident and children thrive.
I believe supporting caregivers is one of the most meaningful ways we can support children.
I’d love for you to experience that for yourself.

Frequently Asked Questions
You’ll never hear me talk about “getting your body back” or push through exhaustion. Instead, you’ll find movement that fits real life — a full class or one song.
Baby Mombo™ is designed with caregiver wellness and postpartum recovery in mind. Movement options and modifications are offered throughout class to support a variety of comfort and fitness levels.
As with any postpartum fitness program, caregivers should consult their healthcare provider about returning to exercise, especially following birth, surgery, or medical complications.
No dance experience required. Every dance includes a step-by-step instructional version.
Perfect. Choose one song, press play, and move. Five joyful minutes still counts.
That’s real life. Take a pause, soothe your little one, and rejoin whenever you’re ready.
Wonderful — most babies drift off mid-class, snuggled safely against you!
No problem — there’s no perfect attendance award. Join whenever life allows.
That’s okay too. Some days are about rest. Baby Mombo™ will be here when you’re ready.
No! Beginners are welcome. You do not need prior babywearing or dance experience to participate in Baby Mombo™. Guidance is provided to help caregivers feel comfortable and confident using their carrier safely during class.
Absolutely! Baby Mombo™ classes are designed to be welcoming, supportive, and beginner-friendly. Whether you are new to fitness, returning to movement postpartum, or simply looking for a joyful way to connect with your baby, classes are structured to help you participate at your own pace.
Every day is different, so do what feels right for you during every song in every class!
Some days, you may take squats deeper or use additional hand weights.
Some days, just taking some steps may be enough of a challenge.
Typically, the youngest age is 6 weeks, provided the postpartum person has been cleared by their doctor or midwife to resume exercise.
As long as your child remains in the carrier and you feel comfortable enough carrying them, any age child is welcome. Typically, children attend from 18 to 24 months.
