#slingwin

So much love for this. Grandfather and father with a beer each and a twin each, sleeping peacefully in stretchy wraps. How much of a #slingwin is this!?? Yay for babywearing, making life work. #carryingmatters #mentalhealthmatters #babywearingdad https://www.instagram.com/carryingmatters/p/BqawMf9ny64/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1pzofafl0h9vk

It's #slingsharesaturday today. I loved this outdoors photo shared with us last week. It looks idyllic doesn't it? but the story behind it was one of struggle and challenge. Pictures can tell a thousand words but they can also hide a lot of the back story. We all want to record the successes in life to remember that yes, sometimes we did feel like we were winning at this parent thing and there's nothing wrong with that. Plus amidst all the gorgeous baby photos it's good for parents to be part of the family record... take the photo! Here's a dad who learned how to do a back carry with a half buckle this morning at a sling library drop in. Make use of your local sling libraries: they can help you make the most of your carrier or help you find one that works for what you need. Have you had a #slingwin this week or learned something new? #carryingmatters #babywearing #carryingisconnection #carryingisforeveryfamilyeverychild https://www.instagram.com/carryingmatters/p/BpuXUrEHANG/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ffp2h3cahu3v

Do your wider family carry your babies too? It's such a great way to widen the circles of trust and security and support; more loving and consistent relationships form. This will help a child feel able to sleep in more places, be cared for happily by more people, and feel more connected to more carers! #slingwin #carryingmatters #carryingisconnection #stretchywrap

"This is my superpower", says this mum... "successfully and safely breastfeeding my one month old baby in a woven wrap with one hand for support while also carrying the weekly shopping in the other hand up our snowy cold hill to home" .... totally agree with her... and look at that latch!

We went out to find some proper snow this afternoon up in the hills before it gets dark. Boy that wind with the driving snow was biting... and guess what! We met a dad with his family tobogganing and he had his baby bundled up warm in his chest in a Beco Gemini! Slings can make family life happen in all weathers :) do you need a carrier for the holidays or the snow? We can help; we hire slings out every day except Sundays and we are open till Sat 23rd Dec. #slingwin #sheffieldslingsurgery #slingsinsheffield #slingsinthesnow #familylife (at Higger Tor)
