Did you know it's our team who run the well- loved #4thtrimestersheffield classes for new parents at the Snug? Every Monday morning in a six week (half a term) cycle, all about helping mums, dads, partners, significant caregivers to find out and explore what life as "us" is all about and discuss some of the more common challenges (why does my baby cry? What is my baby trying to communicate? Why does my baby not "sleep like a baby?" What is secure attachment and how do I make it happen? How do I care for myself and my relationships in this new landscape?) we've been running this service for four years now. Booking is essential. (Link in bio). We'd love to help you and your family. #slingspot #sheffieldslingsurgery #handsfreehugs #beautifulbabywearing #childhoodunplugged #parenthoodunplugged #wearallthebabies #carryingmatters #infantmentalhealthmatters #buildahappybrain #mentalhealthmatters #responsiveparenting #smallbusiness #peakdistrict #sheffield #freedomtogether #carryingmatters https://www.instagram.com/p/BrM45DEH0Yf/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=fs7r5kdnyeg1

"There's been lots of talk about whether it's manly to carry your little ones in a sling. Of course it's manly. If you love something, keep it close." @hendersonsrelish having a bit of fun with the lesser-spotted Mr Carrying Matters yesterday outside @slingspot in Sheffield (Hendos is made here!) ... notice the bottles are close enough to kiss, safe and comfy and able to breathe 😂😂😂😂 #hendersons #slingspot #closeenoughtokiss https://www.instagram.com/carryingmatters/p/BpEVyJXl8jO/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ie9ij3gs4v80

Some of you may have seen these pictures on the Henderson's Relish twitter... "There's been lots of talk about whether it's manly to carry your little ones in a sling. Of course it's manly. If you love something, keep it close." ... and close enough to kiss! Kiri was helping Rob get all the bottles into the stretchy and checking they were safe and comfy and able to breathe 😂😂😂😂 #hendersons #slingspot #closeenoughtokiss #slingsinsheffield #sheffieldslingsurgery https://www.instagram.com/p/BpDKTkxlD66/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1x698oftty9mt

I'm at work in my local premises today. The day to day business of the Sheffield sling library and Sling Spot shop services are run by my wonderful and dedicated team of colleagues and volunteers; headed up by Kiri.... the team give me the freedom to do my GP job, run 4th Trimester and do much of my training and lecturing and advocacy work. So when I get to be at work at the front line, it's lovely, especially when the next generation comes with me! #carryingmatters #babywearing #welovebabywearing #slingspot #sheffieldslingsurgery #sheffieldslinglibrary https://www.instagram.com/p/Bnvddell1he/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=3h1ei74eh8ja

Here is a short video again showing how the strap placement makes a huge difference. At the start, little J is rather low and there is a large gap between his chest and our model Amelia's. This will be felt as a hard pull across her neck and upper back. He would slump forwards with his chin sunk onto his chest if he fell asleep. This isn't ideal at all. As she pulls the slack up and wider across her shoulders, his whole body position alters. He comes up higher and closer, bringing his centre of gravity closer to hers and the top part of the panel provides more support. #babywearingsupport #babywearingtips #babywearing #slingsafety #carryingmatters #integrababy #puddleduck #slingspot
