🌞Carrying in the sun🌞

When the weather is warm , we worry that baby will overheat. Lots of people start worrying about what to wear.

🌞The sling is a layer of clothing, they’re also sharing your body heat! If you have a thick stretchy wrap it may count as two to three layers.
Use loose, breathable cotton clothing on your child.
🌞You can use a muslin between you to stop the skin on skin stickiness, a damp muslin can be cooling. Just make sure it’s not blocking their airways!
🌞Remember that you will get warm too - don't wear too much under the sling
🌞Protect the extremities - long cool trousers, wide brimmed sunhat, draped muslin over legs/arms or an umbrella
🌞Hip and back carries are cooler, if your child is old enough
🌞Thinner, cooler slings are available if needed ( see below)
🌞Use a one layer carry with woven wraps or try a ring sling
🌞If using sunscreen, leave at least 30 mins before using the sling as it can stain
🌞Stay in the shade where possible
🌞Check your child often - feel their back - and if they're too hot, take them out and have a break

🌞Both of you stay hydrated. Baby may want to feed more often, formula fed babies may need small amounts of water (none needed for breastfed babies under 6m)

🌞Lastly - its ok to not carry if its very hot! you can use the pram. ( just DO NOT cover it with anything)

Some options for cooler slings below, all can be hired from me, some I can retail. Pop me a message if you're interested in trying one.

A Worthy reminder 🙌🏼
Thank you Bun in the oven Birthing 🦩

Have you got 5 minutes?

If so, stop scrolling and instead pull up the notes in your phone/ grab a pen and paper and take a few moments to write down everything and anything that makes you feel GOOD, that you enjoy, that makes you feel like you .... things that FILL YOUR CUP.

What then? Do more of them more often! We can so easily put ourselves on the back burner when we become parents and we can rapidly 'lose our pink' like flamingoes do while caring for their young 🦩. But today is not that day! Today is a pink day!

Try not to just make an exception of doing things for yourself today but to make it into a daily / weekly / monthly habit. You are important!!

Do share... what are you doing for YOU today and beyond?!

Happy Mother's Day!
