Product Information

Babywearing in a baby sling isn’t just about parental convenience – although leaving the house without a cumbersome buggy can feel a lot less restrictive for parents and it's a lot less hassle when going on public transport. This may come down to your preference and baby's comfort - but there are multiple positions you can try with your sling depending on the design. We discuss the safety of doing so below, but if you're anxious about trying to put your baby in a sling or wrap, practice with a doll or something similar first. Just to get a sense of what you're doing. How to use your baby sling wrap safely We also need to make boardrooms more diverse. Look at what Justin Trudeau did when he first went into office. Did you ever see his ministers when he first took office? The Minister of Health was a doctor. Minister of Transport – an astronaut. Minister of National Defence – a Sikh Veteran. Minister of Sport and persons with disabilities – a visually impaired Paralympian. I could go on. 50 per cent of the cabinet were women. This is how you make progress. When these people’s voices are heard, and when these people, with their lived experiences, are shaping policies moving forward, we will see actual change. If you could give one piece of advice to your younger self what would it be? And for being able to keep it going no matter what. I had Hyperemesis Gravidarum when pregnant with my second which made it incredibly difficult to work (imagine having norovirus on top of the worst hangover you will ever experience, and you have those eight months!). He turned up six weeks early and we spent a few weeks in hospital, so I spent many an hour working from there while looking after my new-born and getting to grips with breastfeeding. Instances like that helped me to understand that if I looked after Amawrap, Amawrap would look after me when I needed it to. What one thing do you believe has been a major factor in you achieving success? When it comes to using a sling with a young baby, The Lullaby Trust states, 'The safest baby carrier to use will keep the infant firmly in an upright position where a parent can always see their baby's face, and ensure their airways are free'.

And, it gives mum a break, too, particularly in the early months when they may feel like they don’t get a moment to themselves, or when they get a big heavier later in the months post birth. Jules: This product is comfortable and doesn’t just last for pregnancy, it goes through your nursing journey and beyond. I don’t like buying maternity clothing because it isn’t used for long, but this jumper doesn’t have the obvious Maternity and nursing look about it. The flaps on the side are stylish and the zip for nursing is very well hidden and discreet. You don’t have to be pregnant or feeding to wear this. The quality of the material will ensure you can use this jumper for years after your pregnancy. The design is lovely too, eye catching and different while stylish and pretty at the same time. It’s very comfortable, whatever you use it for. Would you choose this product above all others on the market? Carry your baby HANDS FREE! There's nothing in the world that compares to the feeling of a sleeping child against your chest, the sweet-smelling, down-covered head under your nose. In the early days with a newborn, mothers have time to enjoy these moments.C = Close enough to kiss - Your baby’s head should be as close to your chin as possible, meaning you can easily kiss their forehead or top of their head just by looking down slightly In the US, the baby carrier market is expected to grow by more than 40% in the 4 years to 2025. Whether you want to go shopping, go for a walk or just get some chores done around the house, a baby carrier is an excellent way to be mobile while soothing your baby. Sophie: The only restriction was I couldn't see that the child is able to forward face in the sling, which is preferred for the older child ( I found from 12 months my children would prefer to look outwards). This could restrict the use for some children and parents. In general a well made product that has been well researched and supported. IHDI CERTIFICATE: Certified as ergonomic support for the correct development of the hip in the child and for the prevention of dysplasia.

Education – our current education system is geared one way – towards telling the story of white men. We need to understand and be taught about the contributions of women, and of people of colour too. Breaking these stereotypes alone will help future generations to be more open to people from all walks of life.

A baby carrier is a secure and practical way to carry your baby around, but if you're looking for everyday comfort, you may find a baby sling or a baby wrap works best for you and your little one. With so many parents swearing by their baby slings and wraps, we can see why they've become so popular. Learning. Learning every step of the way. Eight years on and I’m still learning, and I’m still talking to mommas every day. More than anything, I was that momma who needed the help and who needed that sling to survive. I was that momma who needed a baby wrap for my firstborn to help with my postnatal depression and I was also that momma who needed the sling for my second to help me to run after my first born! For both kids my need was different. First time it was the skin-to-skin, the second time it was for the convenience. How do you feel about mentoring? Have you mentored anyone or are you someone’s mentee?

Best sling-carrier hybrid

Catia: This wrap did help me a lot, my son is a baby that wants to be held all the time, so this was a god send. I put my son on the wrap and he goes to sleep straight away, and it’s so easy to put on and take it off. Also having three children, being hands free on the school run it’s great. It’s great to do some housework, also I was really amazed that I managed to breastfeed my son while having him wrapped. Bag slings, which are worn messenger-bag style across your body, are unsafe as they’ve been associated with a risk of suffocation. I’m going to also add equality for BAME people too. We not only need better representation, but also a better understanding on the disparities and inequality which got us here. If you don’t know how you got here, how can you understand how you move forward? If your baby has a hip defect such as hip dysplasia, slings and baby carriers may not be suitable, so speak to your GP or health visitor before you use one.

Some models have a detachable pouch that your baby rides in; this allows you to put the harness on first and then attach your baby, and also means it’s easier to get him out if he’s sleeping. Mei Tais have a panel that your baby sits in, and fabric straps that wrap and tie around your waist and shoulders. Charlotte: For the price and time it takes to put on and adjust, I would prefer to use a newborn sling with more structure and safety features. Other competitors offer a sling that is ready to use straight away once put on without worrying there in it correctly. Although with this style of wrap it is lovely to feel baby so close to you as if they are part of you, I just felt worried about the support it was giving. Keeping this business going for nearly ten years! In ten years the amount of comments I have received from mums who have thanked me for helping them to keep their babies close, for listening to them when they have felt especially vulnerable, for video chatting with them to help if they felt overwhelmed, for donating our wraps to organisations supporting new mums.
