This afternoon I have been demoing slings along with Jill Jolley from Wears my baby at the FOSS Family Funday at Dawlish Leisure Centre. This is a completely free annual event put on by Friends of Sure Start, open to families with children under five. The focus was on healthy eating so there was free fruit and a free smoothie bar along with loads of fun activities for all the kids.
We had lots of interest and showed parents (Mums and Dads too) how to use a range of slings. Best of all we had a few pregnant ladies asking about them! It was great to have several Mums asking about carrying their toddlers too as often people can't imagine using them past the first year.
I will be setting a summer sling making date as soon as possible - watch this space!
