FITTINGS What do we mean by a sling fitting? Here's a little list of some of the things we're thinking about while we're helping you with your sling... ▪️Making sure we've covered safety, in a way that feels achievable and not scary. ▪️Is this sling /position comfy and developmentally appropriate for this child? ▪️Does this carrier fit the wearer well? If straps or waistbands aren't sitting where we'd expect, is this comfy for the wearer, or do we need to consider other options? ▪️What little tips and tricks are going to help THIS CLIENT use THIS SLING confidently and comfortably on their own? All this takes a while, which is why we can generally only fit one sling per client per session, and will usually narrow down to which sling you want to try as fast as we can. The practical always needs longest! If you want to try several carriers, or would like lots of guided practice, a home visit is a great option. #slinglibrary #slingconsultant #youvegotthis #reigate #redhill #horley #coulsdon #surrey #surreybusiness #surreymama #surreymummy #eastsurreymums #reigatemums #redhillmums #horleymums #coulsdonmums #babysurrey #ipreview via @preview.app

EXPECTING?⁣ ⁣ When it comes to slings, we can help you get prepared for baby much better than the (very lovely, I'm sure) staff at John Lewis. We've been there, trying to work out what was best for our tiny babies, at the start of our parenting journeys. Since then, between the two of us we've racked up over 12 years' experience (and a whole lot of training) in supporting parents with carriers. ⁣ ⁣ If you know you want to use a stretchy wrap, we can teach you how to use one of our lovely @hanababyuk stretchies to hire or buy. We have weighted demo dolls to learn with and it's usually possible to work around a bump with a stretchy, in a way that doesn't work so well with carriers with waistbands! ⁣ ⁣ If you don't know where to start, we'd love to welcome you to a drop-in for a cuppa and just to get a feel for what is out there and what we do, so you have some friendly faces to come and see once baby has arrived.⁣ ⁣ #babywearing #babycarrier #stretchywrap #pregnancy #duein2020 #matleave #fourthtrimester #carryingfamilies #carryingmatters #supportingparents #newbaby #nurturingnewfamilies #youvegotthis #babysurrey #surreymummy #surreymama #eastsurreymums #redhill #reigate #horley #coulsdon #surrey #surreybusiness #ipreview via @preview.app

YUMMY SHOULDER STRAPS!⁣ ⁣ Many babies around this age gum the straps of buckle carriers. It's totally OK, and we expect it to happen to our carriers! We wash them between hires when needed. ⁣ ⁣ If it bothers you with your own carrier, there are suck pads you can buy to avoid having to wash your carrier so much. ⁣ ⁣ #babywearing #babycarrier #bucklecarrier #slingsurrey #babywearingsurrey #wearallthebabies #keepthemclose #fourthtrimester #carryingfamilies #carryingmatters #surreymummy #surreymama #eastsurreymums #slinglibrary #slingconsultant #babywearingsurrey #redhill #reigate #horley #coulsdon #surrey #surreybusiness #reigatemums #ipreview via @preview.app

YOU ARE ENOUGH ❤️ Just in case you needed to hear it. Life with small humans can so easily feel like you're very busy doing nothing useful. But to them, you are BEING their everything. #babywearing #babycarrier #stretchywrap #ringsling #bucklecarrier #slingsurrey #babywearingsurrey #wearallthebabies #keepthemclose #closeenoughtokiss #fourthtrimester #carryingfamilies #carryingmatters #surreymama #surreymummy #eastsurreymums #reigatemums #redhillmums #horleymums #coulsdonmums #reigate #redhill #horley #coulsdon #surrey #surreybusiness #ipreview via @preview.app

STRANGEST SLING CLINIC EVER⁣ ⁣ This rather surreal sling session happened last week. A mix up at my venue meant I was without a space at the last minute. Luckily, the weather was beautiful, I only had one client booked, and she was running a bit late when I rang her to explain. ⁣ ⁣ Lovely Client arrived, and I showed her to my consulting room in the car boot... She was wonderful about it. Even when she needed to feed her baby and I could only offer her the front seat of my very messy car 😆⁣ ⁣ Oh and there was a cat... I mean, why not? This wasn't weird enough right? It's not my cat, but it REALLY liked my car. Luckily, Lovely Client was a cat person.⁣ ⁣ A few years ago, this would have freaked me right out and I'd have been SO embarrassed. In that time though, I've worked with so many wonderful parents that I know deeply that what I do is completely not about me. My confidence in my skills means that the other stuff doesn't really matter, as long as I can provide the support THAT PARENT needs. ❤️⁣ Charlotte x ⁣ (Back to normal at Coulsdon this week! Booking link in bio) ⁣ ⁣ #rollwithit #youvegotthis #slingconsultant #slinglibrary #babywearingsurrey #slingsurrey #carryingfamilies #surreymummy #surreymama #eastsurreymums #supportingparents #nurturingnewfamilies #babysurrey #breastfeedingonthego #catstagram #ipreview via @preview.app

❤️ LOVE ❤️ ⁣ ⁣ That's enough for me this Valentine's 😍⁣ ⁣ This beautiful mama and her deliciously squishy baby boy tried the @hanababyuk wrap at yesterday's drop-in. The oxytocin just radiated off them 💕 AND hands are now free for his big brother. ⁣ ⁣ Infinity is closed for half-term next week, so no drop-in on the 20th, but Charlotte will have a Coulsdon clinic that afternoon, and Sally has a Horley clinic THIS Saturday afternoon. Booking essential for both- link in bio.⁣ ⁣ #surreymummy #surreymama #eastsurreymums #reigatemums #coulsdonmums #horleymums #redhillmums #parentinghacks #newbaby #babycarrier #bornin2020 #babysurrey #slingsurrey #babywearingsurrey #carryingfamilies #slinglibrary #slingconsultant #supportingparents #duein2020 #fourthtrimester #mumlife #ipreview via @preview.app

SUPPORT When you have a new baby, there's so much to learn, whether it's your first or your fourth. Every baby is different, so it's easy to feel a little lost as you try to learn about this new human and all the things they need. How to feed them, how they like to be held, how to soothe them, how to fold the buggy: on and on and on with the new stuff. And right when sleep deprivation and hormones seen to be trying to stop your brain cells working together in an orderly fashion. Enter the new sling... The picture on the box looks so lovely, doesn't it? So simple, such a great way to take back a little control in various areas of your life. Eating, going for a walk, perhaps even making a cuppa! But then you open the box... Inside, either a baffling collection of straps and buckles, or a bit of fabric from which you are supposed to create a baby-holder from scratch. An instruction booklet, which, if you're lucky, will get you started in a safe, if not necessarily comfy manner. If you're not so lucky, it'll be 2 pictures and a single sentence, none of which give you much clue as to what steps might actually get the sling on, let alone add the baby. We hear this time and again, and some of the big brands are the worst offenders (I'm looking at you, 'fold your 5m long stretchy wrap in half lengthways' booklet!). Often, instructions either make things impossibly complicated, or give barely any guidance at all. And yet, all the parents we see are entirely capable of learning these new skills pretty quickly... The difference? Seeing someone experienced do it in real life and the support and empowerment to have a go. Suddenly, it's not so hard, it's not a stress, and you no longer feel like a failure. We can help: at home, or at a drop-in or clinic.

NEWBORN BUCKLES Many parents absolutely love wraps with newborns, but others just don't feel the love. Luckily there are plenty of lovely buckle carriers on the market, designed with tiny ones in mind. Standard wide-based buckle carriers are often aimed at older babies, so it's really important that the sling you choose for your newborn takes their differing needs into account. That means adjusting small enough to avoid overspreading young hips, and working with the natural shape of the newborn spine, while providing enough support to make sure everything is snug and safe. Different buckle carriers fit different bodies differently, and they're expensive, so it's well worth a road-test before you commit. You can see all our slings on our live catalogue on our website. #bucklecarrier #slingsurrey #babywearingsurrey #carryingfamilies #surreymummy #surreymama #eastsurreymums #reigatemums #coulsdonmums #babysurrey #fourthtrimester #babycarrier #surreybusiness #supportlocal #newbaby #bornin2020 #ipreview via @preview.app

COMMUNITY Charlotte's been at Infinity this morning to attend a wonderful @positivebirthmovement meeting hosted by Miriam of @parenttribedotcom. It was lovely to meet so many excited parents and parents to be sharing their stories. We're so very proud to be a part of the Infinity committee. This morning was the perfect demonstration of what the team want the space to be: bringing people together at the heart of the community. It's an absolutely perfect venue for our weekly drop-ins, as well as having loads of other hosted activities going on every week. #somethinginmyeye #nurturingnewfamilies #supportingparents #ittakesavillage #eastsurreymums #reigatemums #newbaby #bornin2020 #duein2020 #carryingfamilies @infinity_spacetogrow #ipreview via @preview.app
