Archaeologist and anthropologist, Timothy Taylor talked in New Scientist magazine, about how baby slings, made from animal viscera enabled upright female hominins to walk about, carrying their baby, but conserving the precious energy that it [...]

I am often asked why I came up with SnugBaby. Quite simply, I needed a comfortable sling, that could cope with my demands – easy to use, looked good, would last a while, husband could use it, and it could be washed! When I had my first son, I admit I had never even heard [...]

The show has been created especially for parents and parents-to-be and brings together over 150 [...]

I am following in the footsteps of some of my very favourite bloggers, and writing my round up of the Noughties. Wow, what a decade it’s been! A lot has happened, both good and bad, and many things I am very proud of. Here goes: 2000 Having met the man of my dreams just a [...]

Since it is December, a time when advent calendars are eagerly opened, children desperate to find out what is hiding behind each door, I am putting a babywearing spin on it, and will be posting a great babywearing tip, suggestion or idea every day until Christmas! Today’s treat is: Make great use of a mei [...]
