I get asked loads of questions on all kinds of babywearing and carrier related topics – and many of the same questions and themes come up time and time again. So I’ve started to write articles covering the most common questions… usually in during a sling library session I only get about 30 seconds to answer and so I have really enjoyed writing these articles to allow me to give much more full answers!
The articles are grouped loosely by topic … simply click on the question to read the full article….
