https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dvv--AeEE7g I love stretchy wraps for the newborn stage, they are so snuggley, soft and comforting during that 4th trimester period. And of all the stretchy wraps I have ever tried, the organic Hana Baby Wrap is one of my absolute favourites. I hadn't heard of it when my son Tom was born but itContinueContinue reading "Hana Baby Wrap Review"

Sheen Slings at Twickenham Green Breastfeeding Drop in on Tuesday 13th September
Wearing your baby can help support feeding your little one - prolonged skin to skin contact helps increase Oxytocin production stimulating milk production. Likewise wearing them after feeds (whether breast or bottle) helps keep them upright and avoid discomfort of colic or reflux. For anyone struggling with feeding at all, I'd highly recommend findingContinueContinue reading "Sheen Slings at Twickenham Green Breastfeeding Drop in on Tuesday 13th September"
Moby Aria Review (Updated!)
I originally reviewed the Moby Aria shortly after it came out in May 2015. I have included that review below, and as you will see I really liked it. But a year and a bit later as a library carrier, the Moby Aria has not weathered well at all. While I still really like manyContinueContinue reading "Moby Aria Review (Updated!)"

Because of course that would be crass! And not particularly helpful as there are a number of differences. And to makeContinueContinue reading "Which Caboo? Plus, Organic or Lite/NCT?"
Moby Wrap Review
The first carrier I ever bought was a Moby wrap. Before my son was born I asked around all my friends, I went to a sling library to learn about all the different types of baby carriers and came to the conclusion I should get a stretchy wrap. This was absolutely the right choice forContinueContinue reading "Moby Wrap Review"
What is a Caboo?
First time I was handed a Caboo I had a bit of a "But what is it??!?" moment? Is it a stretchy? A ring sling? A carrier or what?! Officially it is a 'Stretchy Hybrid'. This means it is like a stretchy wrap in terms of the material used and the way baby is carried once inContinueContinue reading "What is a Caboo?"
Sleepy Nico Carrier Review
Recently Sheen Slings have had the pleasure of hosting Sleepy Nico's beautiful travelling toddler carrier, which is doing a tour of sling libraries all over the UK. I've never had a Sleepy Nico carrier before and right out of the package I loved it. I love the pairing of the georgous cotton print fabric withContinueContinue reading "Sleepy Nico Carrier Review"
