Many thanks to everyone who came along to our April meet today. It was our busiest one ever, with 40 families coming along and over 20 slings hired out for the month. We hope you all have fun trying out the slings over the coming month!

Apologies to anyone who might not have got all of the advice that they were after today due to how busy we all were. If you would like individual sling advice and tuition, Debbie is now a qualified Babywearing Instructor and is able to offer personal consultations – for more details, please visit her website.

Our next meet takes place from 9.30 until 11am on Friday 7th May. See you there!
