Middlesex Baby Slingers sling meet

Middlesex Baby Slingers met on Sunday 27th May at The Doll's House, Harrow. The meet was hastily rearranged from the park when it looked like it would pour down all day (it did). There were five Mums, five babies, two pre-schoolers and a very helpful eight-year old. As usual, the meet started with general chat, tea drinking and cake sampling. The cakes in The Doll's House were judged to be of a very high standard (!).

Moving onto slinging, and to a more comfortable section of the cafe, we all enjoyed meeting the latest fluffy addition to the Baretrix household, a beautiful Jim Didy, and agreed that he is much more beautiful in the flesh than on the web. Sling topics focused on back carries, with MT and wrap help given to a couple of slingers, and yet more support for Linds who is finally mastering the BWCC. One new member demonstrated a home-made sling for easy torso carries, which we found v interesting. The meeting was the usual friendly chaos, finishing when the babies finally got fed up and demanded to be wrapped up to sleep.

Next meeting is planned for a few weeks time. Hopefully we can make the park this time with DHs and older children, but if not, perhaps Fantasy Island or The Doll's House again.

Welcome to Baby Slingers!

Hello and welcome to Baby Slingers. As the title says, we are a group of like-minded parents from in and around Middlesex who meet regularly to chat, share ideas, eat brownies, and share our experiences with different types of baby carriers.

The group is very informal, there is no need to have even seen a sling before coming (or breast-feed, co-sleep etc etc etc). Everyone is welcome, especially older children and partners. Sometimes we meet in peoples' houses, sometimes in a hired hall, and sometimes in the park or at a public place. All you need is an interest in slings, and usually a baby or one on the way.

Yes, there is a baby in there!
