Babywearing

We speak with mothers about why they started babywearing and what they have learnt from this ancient parenting practice

Is it possible to babywear whilst pregnant? As long as you listen to your body it can be a real comfort to your older child at this time of change

Can you ditch the buggy and introduce a sling during toddlerhood? These mothers believe you can. Here are their tips on starting to carry an older child

Theresa Mellor, mum of two has always been sporty but when she fell in love with babywearing, a new business was born. Kangaroo Fitness is designed with the new Mum in mind. You get to wear your baby as part of the workout!

Love baby wearing and want to try making your own sling? In this picture tutorial, Sarah Beverton shows us how to make a simple Mei Tai. Of course your new sling hasn't been tested in the same way as bought ones might be so caution is always required but this is a basic rule of any babywearing. Once you've mastered the basic design you can adapt it to suit your own needs and embellish to your heart's content giving you a truly original set of slings! Happy making!
