Update

Just to let you all know that Ann-Marie isn't babywearing atm, if you were wondering at the lack of posts! Her son doesn't like to be worn anymore, although at 2 1/2 he's done well. If anyone wants to contribute let us know at the creativemother@live.co.uk email address.

Message from Breastfeeding Beyond Babyhood

Hiya
Just a quick note to let everyone know it is the birthday of BBB this week! The group to support mums with all aspects of parenting an older breastfed baby (ie 9mths+) was opened 12 mths ago during NBFAW at Costa Coffee by Nell McAndrew.

We are holding our birthday @ The Fun House, Halifax which is where we have held the group for the past year. Everyone is welcome to join us for cake, coffee & face painting! BFAW bags of goodies will also be on offer.


Cheers

Faves!

My handmade straight strapped podeagi.

Ikea fabric with padded denim straps and denim on the reverse. I am in love with pods for toddlers!

Zidee
Angled strapped podaegi. Japanese print with aubergine cord strap and silk reverse. The photos aren't great to show this carrier off sorry.

Girasol wrap with Mam coat
Wrapping was great for us up to around 6 months, when I got confident enough to put him on my back. My son was too wriggly for back wrapping, so I used a Babyhawk, which was great.

The Mam coat has been woderful for winter walking.

Your favorites!

Here's Georgie and her faves. Hotsling with a friends baby....

Merry-go-round and an Ergo

With Dad using the Ergo and a 3 1/2 year old!


Looking beautiful.
Thankyou xxxx

What's your favorite?

Since Ann-Marie and lo has been ill recently, there's no update this month.

Sooooooo how about a photo post? As Mamadillo pointed out, not all sling photos are flattering, especially when demonstrating!

So how about sharing a gorgeous photo of you and your fave sling, perhaps with a couple of sentences saying why you love it, and a story of when it has been most useful.

Email A-M at creativemother@live.co.uk with the heading 'Fave Slings in the Shire'.
