Baby sling demo in Split Croatia ... our photos!

On May 2oth, I was invited at the Klub Trudnica in Split (Croatia) to give a baby wearing workshop. It was a truly amazing experience.

We went through the benefits of baby wearing, the principles regarding the baby's position, the tips to carry comfortably and the various types of baby slings.

Thanks to the generosity of several businesses, we had a great stash of slings to play with.
Big Mama Slings gave us several Hotslings pouches, a Maya Ring Sling, Becky Beckersfield gave us a Brightspark Sling, Shani at Napsack gave us a beautiful Napsack mei-tai. And I brought a few Calin Bleu Cool Wraparound Slings.

A massive Thank you to everyone who made this possible. Thank you to Andreja of Natural Mothering for helping us get in touch, to Vanja for organising it, to Nela for the translation, to the parents who came.
I look forward to going back!

No despach between May 16th-27th

A quick note to say the shop will be closed between May 16th and May 28th.

You can still purchase your wraps, all orders will be despatched on May 29th and we will reply to all queries at that time.

Thank you for your patience.

Lovely sling meet at the Kelvingrove Art Gallery (Glasgow)

Today was Sling Meet day in Glasgow.
We met up at the Kelvingrove Art Gallery. There were only a few of us but we got a chance to meet little Ellie. Her mum Miriam came to her first Sling meet while she was pregnant. Trying on a wrap decided her to buy a Didymos so Ellie was all nice and snug and quickly fell asleep.

No photos though, we were too busy chatting!
The toddlers really enjoyed the mini-museum. We will be meeting there again on June 10th. If the weather is nice, we'll head out to the playground nearby.
If you're in the area, come and join us.

That was for Sling Meet. Calin Bleu is buzzing with activity these days, the new Cool Wraps are in production.

We are reorganising our office and stock room to make space for the hundreds of wraps that will be hitting our shelves soon!

I'm also getting ready for the baby wearing class I will be giving in Split, Croatia next weekend.
Thanks to the amazing generosity of vendors, there are some goodies in my suitcase:

A big Thank you to Napsack for the mei-tai, to Big Mama Slings for the Hotslings pouches, the Maya Wrap ring slings, to Becky Littlewood for the Brightspark Sling pouch and Calin Bleu for the Cool Wraps. A very special Thank you to Andreja of Natural Mothering for making this event possible.

I'll have to make sure I take a photo before I pack them all!
If you're in the area, come and join us at the Klub Trudnica.

More wraps added to the clearance

They've been flying off the shelves so we've been able to unpack a couple more boxes that were stashed away!

The Yummy Olive baby carries are back on the site with various lengths going from 4m (very convenient length for back carries) to 5 meters. If you need help with choosing the size, just email us.

The Simply Natural cotton baby slings have also been added, they are just being washed and dried as I type so they reach you all soft and ready to use. We've added the standard length wraps but there are a couple of short length to be added as well. They are finished with a soft green rolled hem.

All these are at clearance price, so now is the time to grab a bargain for your baby carrier. Free postage to most of Europe!

Grab a baby sling at a bargain price

We are still waiting for the arrival of our new Cool Wrap Collection.As soon as they're on their way, we will let you know.

Until then, you're invited to our Clearance Sale. Help us make some space! And grab a baby carrier at a bargain price.

The clearance wraparound slings offer the same comfort as our normal range, the fabric is identical, only the hems are done slightly differently and they don't have a middle label.

Starting at £25.50 - postage is free. We don't ship to the US and Canada

The clearance includes some shorter wraps, starting at 3.60m, a great length for quick back carries. And a longer XL wrap for +size mums.

Hurry, limited quantities. When they're gone, they're gone!
