@MarkWilliamsFMH @therapyproject_ @NannyKimbo @MummyYoga @feedeatspeak @Becoming_Us @thedadvibes @SlingConsults and many more. The book is more awesome for your input ☺️

[AlexEarlyYears @EarlyYearsAlex]

Everyone working with children, especially those with Safeguarding responsibilities should read this book. I always recommend the Whole Brain child by @BDPerry to families & colleagues I work with, his work is incredible, making very complicated concepts accessible 🧠 💙

[TheSlingConsultancy - Zoe @SlingConsults]

Carrying matters, it is what our body's and brain's expect it is what our infant's body and brain expect.
When we fight these instincts and needs parenting can feel immensely hard. When we surrender and lean into it our whole world can change

Short but sweet says it all.....physical contact is vital to infant development and it is entwined with parental development shaping adult brains too.

love it x

There are so many great things about this picture in our eyes. The family together, supporting each other, the vibrant colours, the close connection maintained through carrying. The quiet alert state of the little baby, their little hand holding onto the red t-shirt

@janeparenting2 https://t.co/RDOhRLiePw a useful article I've written as well as this one too https://t.co/SQK5HmU8TO

[TheSlingConsultancy - Zoe @SlingConsults]

@janeparenting2 So many amazing options! I have lots of videos on youtube or IGTV showing the types, pros & cons, the perfect sling doesn't exist!often buckles seen as safer but not the case. I love stretchy wraps for newborns so snuggly and super safe, with anything it is how it is used.

@janeparenting2 They need break times even more it shows a huge misunderstanding of this mechanism of how to support regulation of a dysregulated brain, to help to rewire and support development :( perhaps suggest all staff take the free training by https://t.co/9CP41ETcYt

their caregivers" call for more cross-field collaboration

Let’s do all we can to nurture a young developing brain as positively as possible from the beginning instead of creating the need to make changes later!

“There is no such thing as a baby... there is a baby and someone” said Winnicott. Parents & babies belong together, in close contact, sharing space & growing in harmony, supported by a community. Encourage cuddles! It helps bonding

Reading this literally brings tears to my eyes. Will those with the power to change society start to value and nurture the raw potential for wellbeing, joy and economic stability of new life?

Sling library sessions are typically free to attend. You’re shown a selection of carriers/slings and you can try them on with a weighted demo doll.

Yes yes yes. Babies have mental health too. We have to work on supporting their parents who have such an influence on them, as well as addressing social inequality and deprivation
