It is custom hand-made, and we cannot wait to recieve them and go for some lovely long walks over the Christmas period.

Our Baby Wearing Story Societal change requires a change in the way we view children and how we parent - and for me it started with realising that my instincts to respond to and nurture the children who share my life were always right.
Before the boy who shares my life was born I had a vision of
orderly control. I painted a nursery and filled it with things. In the instant that he was born, time stopped just for a
moment and
then everything changed. When he came home with me and he didn’t go
in the cot for long, soon we were co sleeping. I had a pram but I found he
preferred to be mostly in arms.
Then when I discovered that we were
expecting twins, I wanted to have the same bond I had shared with my son with
them. So after some research on
the long-term benefits of respectful attachment parenting I discovered
"proper" slings.
At first I was scared to put the twins in slings as it
seemed too complicated, but it soon became second nature. We started off with a piece of jersey to wrap, then used thicker fabric to wrap but discovered that woven is better (Storch, girasol, Didymos). I have also test driven my friends Ergo and that is a fantastic buckle carrier, really comfortable but only goes up to around 18 months as far as I know. Kinderpacks are also highly rated in the sling wearing community. I love mei teis but also love the double hammock wrap carry when I can do it right!
