BabyWearing
My first learned of babywearing in my teens. I met a lovely lady while shopping who, whilst we queued together, taught me how to use a bath towel as a wrap for a back carry!
Since then I have used a range of slings to carry my own children as well as nieces, nephews and friends babies too. I have carried newborns and toddlers, individually, in tandem, and while pregnant.
I am trained through School of Babywearing to offer peer support and 1-1 consultations.
I have set up and co-host the West Dorset Slings drop-in library and hold a regular sling walk for expectant and new parents.
I am also trained and accredited in traditional woven cloth techniques so can show some interesting ways to use your woven wraps!

WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Debra Morley
Individual service where they tailored our session to focus on what I wanted and needed. Really positive experience and can't recommend enough. Started at 11 weeks so it's never too late to start baby wearing. Have a feeling this will be a game changer and enable me to do so much more with my LO.
