Slingguide website

A fabulous new website has been created to provide information about choosing and using slings, Slingguide.co.uk. It has been created for parents by some of the lovely mums at Natural Mamas a great babywearing and natural parenting forum.

The slingguide site has loads of info about slings as well as a great page of links to instruction videos for all types of slings and carries.

Please take a look.

International Babywearing week celebrations

We had a great celebration on Monday for the International babwearing week. There was a great turn out in Bursledon (home of Soutampton sling meet), and we raised over £200 for charity in the raffle, auction, and cake sale. Thank you to everyone who attended, I hope you had as much fun as we did. Photos can be seen on the Southampton Sling Meet site.
