The WYSL is happy to welcome a special guest tomorrow! Mari Greenfield, who trained at Trageschule UK at the same time I did, will be running the library for part of the day. Mari is very experienced in choosing and fitting carriers and it will be lovely to have an extra pair of hands. All…

Two new carriers have arrived in the library with the addition of two new library supporters. I am proud to have the backing of some of the best and most knowledgable online carrier businesses there are and these two are no exception. Slingjax sold me one of my first ever carriers and it arrived within 18 hours of…

Drop-in worked very well today with everyone spaced out nicely. So, apart from my small chaotic child, we managed very well. The Wompat and Olive Bondolino came home and were replaced by the Aubergine cord Connecta and Opitai half buckle. The navy Moby was returned but both Moss and Ocean went to snuggle some little squishy…

We had a fun drop in session on Wednesday and several people popped in to talk slings on Thursday, too. This morning I saw a lovely couple and their squishy baby all the way from Hull. It’s great fun helping others to get excited about carrying. The new two tier rental scheme seems to be…

Not only do I have some possible interest from local baby shops (more information will follow in coming months, watch this space), I am booked in to complete the Advanced Trageschule course next month with Anne McEwan of Trageschule UK. I am hoping that the advanced course will consolidate my knowledge of the scientifically proven benefits to baby carrying,…

The library site is a work in progress but hopefully you’ll agree there is a fair amount of information here now. The library is open tomorrow from 10-3.30pm. Has to be 3.30pm as I’m invited to go and meet my daughter’s reception teacher for next year. Many more carriers are on their way to the library…
