Babywearing article in the Times

Pleased to read an article in The Times at the weekend which was all about "babywearing" - using a sling to carry your baby. The Daily Mail have also followed up the story too.

I used a few baby carriers or slings with my youngest daughter - she much preferred to be held and using a sling let me get on with life.

Apparently lots of celebs are now advocating babywearing and Mylene Klass has even designed her own sling!

The article has info on Sling Meets and I was pleased to see one of my favourite slings, Calin Bleu, get a mention too.

In all, really positive apart for a strange quote from Gina Ford

“All babies are different and I don't think carrying a baby all the time results in a more clingy baby, but I have noticed that some 'baby-wearing' mothers interact less with their baby, and the baby can be treated more like an accessory than a human being.”
