Busy week babywearing!

I've had a super busy babywearing few days; aside from the usual school run trips with sling, there has also been the photoshoot for the face of Sa-Be competition.  It went really well with over 100 people attending across the 2 days with their children modelling the bibs and some wearing the slings too. The photos were available to buy at very reasonable prices and the bibs and slings were for sale at a discounted price as a thank you for those who took part.

I used the bus to reach the venue and it was the first time I'd used the sling with Bubba 2 on public transport. It was fab being able to sit where I wanted and not wondering if I'd need to wait for the next bus, if 2 prams where already on, etc!!

At the shoot I finally made my colour choice and went with the pink and purple sling and I'm really happy with it. The slings are all folded into themselves for packaging and delivery and is a good way to store them, although as I use mine so frequently, it's generally just thrown over the coat stand in my hallway!

Excuse the double chin - self portraits are tricky!!

I got to chat with other babywearers at the shoot too and I spent a lovely few hours getting to know them better and catching up. With my latest addition, I'll be seeing a lot more of them around and I look forward to it. There were also some people who hadn't considered slings before and who had just come along for their child to model the bibs.....but I saw several trying out the slings and keeping them on whilst eating their lunch - hands free, whilst it was still warm!! A muslin cloth over the sling works wonders to protect against spillage!! I imagine a few additional sling sales were made.

Thursday afternoon was my elder daughter's school summer fayre, so after a quick trick to the park before it began and with the squish needing a feed, my new pink and purple sling provided excellent breastfeeding cover too! Bonus! I had a quick chat with another mum at the fayre who had used a Sa-be with her youngest and she said she was keeping it, just in case....perhaps another Sa-Be babywearer to join me in the future in my village!

I've also been tagged in a photo on FB of one of my daughter's school friends carrying her doll in a sling "just like my friend's mummy"! I feel proud! A great few days.....

I am friends with the owner of the company. We met when I was asked through a mutual friend to model for the initial advertising shots when the company launched in 2009. I was a babywearer already and was really impressed with the products and proceeded to use the stretchy Sa-Be daily until my daughter was 18 months old and on several occasions until she was 3 years old.
All the opinions about the SaBe slings in my blog are my own, but any factual information such as pricing, availability, safety testing, etc is checked with the company and accurate at the time of publishing the post.
