Photos of the Scotland Baby Show

If you're in the area tomorrow, come and see us at the Scotland Baby Show, stand 429E.

This is the opportunity to see and try some slings before you buy, ring slings, mei-tais, soft carriers, patapum, and wraparound slings.

Here is a picture of the Calin Bleu featured in the Baby Fashion Show and the Natural Mothering Stand.

Next Glasgow Sling Meet

It has been nice and sunny so we're moving outdoors for the next Glasgow Sling Meet.

Sunday May 13th 11am

This is the opportunity to learn how to carry your baby, try on baby slings, find a comfortable fit with your baby carrier, meet up with other parents.
Everyone is welcome.
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact me or visit Sling Meet.


If the weather is nice, we'll meet at the Kelvingrove Playground. If it rains, we'll meet at the Kelvingrove museum in the cafe at the entrance. There is a "Little Museum" which will keep the older kids entertained for hours as well as the elephant, the giraffe and all kind of surprises.

The Independent Midwives also have a stand, it's a great opportunity to discover their work and sign the petition to save independent midwifery and the One Mother One Midwife Campaign.

Time for another updated

The new estimated delivery date for the Cool Wraps is now May.
We are making some drastic changes to the way your wraps are manufactured - better quality, better supply chain, better photo instructions. It all takes time but it will be well worth the wait!

Remember that you can sign up for the newsletter. We will offer a special discount code valid only a few days.

You want to see a Calin Bleu in real life? Then come and visit us at the following events:

April 27-29th at the Glasgow Baby Show (Natural Mothering Stand)
May 13th: Sling Meet in Glasgow
May 20th: Baby wearing workshop in Split, Croatia.

We are collecting slings to take to Croatia so that the non-profit organisation who is hosting the workshop can have a baby sling lending library where mums can try slings and borrow them. If you have any slings lying around and not getting used, would you consider donating them? Calin Bleu will pay for your postage costs.

Preview of the new baby slings

The new Cool Wraps are not quite ready yet, still waiting for them sometime in April. They're up on the site so you can start choosing the colour of your new baby sling.

Yummy Olive, Mystic Cloud, Chocolate Symphony, Simply Natural, Azur Aqua ... which one will take your fancy?

Thank you to the mums and dads in California and Sweden for the lovely photos.
