This is what we’re all about - supporting & enabling carers however they feed their babies. If you only have a scarf we will teach you how to use it to carry your child. If you want to spend £200 on a sling we will help you find the right one - and everything in between.

Bit different to my usual tweets but here’s what I learnt on Sat. This is standard #breastfeeding position using a simple scarf as a carrying aid. Can also be used for rugby ball hold & more upright for 🍼feeding. No fancy equipment needed, just enabling carers & giving options

The outdoor market was cancelled last week due to the rain, which meant we couldn't have our secondhand sling sale 🙁 We're going to try again this Saturday, we've got loads of slings available for great prices, and you get free advice and fitting from a sling consultant too!
