Sling meet, learn to use your baby slings

It's been a while since I last posted about sling meets.
Mums (and dads) are meeting up regularly around the UK to learn to use their slings, decide which one to buy, talk about their babies, their joys and difficulties, meet new friends, build the confidence to carry their children on their back ...
There is no set format for the sling meetings. Some groups choose a topic for each meetings, a type of carriers, or a type of carry, other groups are very informal, answering the mum's questions and exchanging tips on how to use their own baby carrier. Sometimes, the fabric just needs to a bit more snug, the baby a bit higher, with her legs wide apart in a froggy position. It makes a world of difference when it comes to carrying your baby for long periods of time.

In Glasgow, we meet once a month on a Friday at The Lane in the West End.
It's a cafe with comfortable sofas where we can both enjoy a coffee and pizza while trying on new baby carriers. We all bring our slings and usually have a wide selection of baby slings for you to try.

Everyone is welcome, many new mums come before their baby is born. They get a good idea of what to buy so they can use their baby slings from day 1. A few tiny babies and toddlers.

It's a nice time together, relaxing and informative. My favourite moments is when a mum's eye light up saying: 'Oh wow that's comfortable, I can't feel his weight'.
So come and join us. Find the details of your local meeting.
