Brr!!! The temperature has plummeted, hasn't it! Late autumn and early winter can be a wonderful time of year, with frosty mornings and chilly walks, the first snowfall, and a little child nestled cosily up to you. Fresh air is good for the soul, and exercise and changes of scenery can make a big difference to family life. You don't need to be afraid of wintry weather, in fact, a baby carrier can help you go places! Here's my guide to keeping warm while keeping safe in the cold... basically, use layers, protect extremities, and be sure everyone can breathe and move safely and confidently. https://www.carryingmatters.co.uk/snowsuits-scarves-slings-and-safety/ #coldweathercarrying #carryingmatters #safetyfirst #sheffieldslingsurgery #sheffieldslinglibrary #slingsinsheffield https://www.instagram.com/p/BqafcUpHqMQ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=verl1pk6bwul

Karen and baby K have been finding that the most common chest-to-chest positioning in their stretchy wrap isn't the most comfortable for the little one. She seems to have some stomach discomfort and prefers to be held in a more sideways position. We showed her how to do a "seated sideways" position that means there is no tummy pressure at all, but baby is still close enough to kiss and able to breathe safely, well supported by snug fabric. Baby is resting in a tall tick mark ✔️shape, not curled up. #4thtrimestersheffield #sheffieldslingsurgery #sheffieldslinglibrary #carryingmatters #seatedsideways #stretchywrap https://www.instagram.com/p/BqFkLMeH9ec/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=155j1vr0hoj4g

It was the "attachment" week at #4thtrimestersheffield today, with Rosie talking about how parents shape their babies' brains and how secure attachments form. Debi from @slumberroo was visiting and enjoyed being able to chat to some new parents and peer supporters. Next week is the "crying" week - always useful! #carryingmatters #sheffieldslingsurgery #sheffieldslinglibrary #thesnugsheffield https://www.instagram.com/p/BqFjkJzn1g4/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=y6anvk2dazbt

A little bit of yoga at 4th Trimester today! It's the last week of our current cycle so we usually have a little bit of fun (after the discussion on mental health and self care). Cat runs the Monday afternoon Yoga for New Parents course here at the Snug. #sheffieldslingsurgery #sheffieldslinglibrary #slingsinsheffield #sheffieldparents #4thtrimestersheffield #yoga #newparents https://www.instagram.com/p/BpOynHHHs_Q/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1c3xpo2z599sq
