This weeks babywearing picture is from Liz. Taken at Sutton Hoo last year. Taken at Sutton Hoo in late September this year with LO aged 7 months.  I like it because it always brings a smile to my face – and reminds me of a lovely, lovely day. Liz Thank you for sharing Liz! It [...]

Taken at  Harpenden Sling Library – Spring 2011 I can’t recall my son seeing a tandem carry to learn from, but here at 3 years old, he did it anyway! He wanted to sling his small baby who he said was ‘crying’; I didn’t have his mini mei tai with us so used his jersey [...]

This is a picture of me and DD when she was 10 months old. She’s in a Storchenwiege baby carrier in violet colourway. We were on holidays in Minorca.  I love the cuddly/snugglyness of the picture and DD’s smile on it. It is during this holiday that I realised how much babywearing several hours a [...]

You’re advised to approach any unknown elves with caution… and [...]

When I was expecting my second child, I had this terrible fear that I couldn’t possibly love another child the way I loved my son – it often kept me awake and in tears at night. Towards the end of my pregnancy I became obsessed with this overwhelming worry that I wouldn’t be able to [...]

You may have seen Victoria’s post a few weeks ago about her reasons for using slings with her toddler. Victoria has a chronic condition and uses crutches to get around, so “baby”wearing helps her to still get out and about whilst keeping her son safe and close. Today’s post is from another Natural Mamas member [...]
