It’s easy for people to see my shiny Range Rover and assume my business is doing really well! But no, my babywearing business does NOT pay for my Range Rover! I’m actually from a poor background and have worked hard to get to a privileged position, so my children can have a better start to life than I had. But I have my husband’s business success to thank for the car that I get to borrow. I spent all of my redundancy pay and thousands of pounds of family savings to start my sling library and consultancy business. But it’s not making me any profit, and won’t for a long time. But please be assured that cost should not be a barrier, and I am here to share baby safety information even if you can’t afford to hire or buy from me. 🌱🌸🧸

😣 I’m sorry you have a Baby Bjorn carrier… I see so many new mums struggling with these each and every week. They’re a huge brand with big budgets, and I have been afraid to speak out about it publicly but I can’t keep quiet any longer. The salespeople in the baby shops are not qualified or trained in babywearing safety. They are driven by profit. 🤑💷

🪴 For real, valuable, specialist advice, a sling library & babywearing consultant is the best source of info. New mums deserve better.

🌱 If you have bought a Baby Bjorn, you haven’t failed, you just believed a marketing strategy focussed on 🤑💷 I promise you, there are far better carriers available that are SO much simpler, and will feel comfier, and keep your baby safe.

🌱 I will be posting more on this soon, when I get my next pair of big girl pants on 😆😅

Trentham Mums & Dads, WHEN would you love to get your baby carrier support? 🧸 Wednesdays or Fridays? The Trentham Sling Surgery will be pre-booked appointments, so you’ll have the opportunity to receive 1-1 support, have your questions answered, try out or hire from my range of baby & toddler carriers, and even buy one during your session. But I’d love to know which day you would prefer? 🍂 Sessions will likely run in 30 minute slots between 10.30am-2.30pm.
