Top Question
What is the 'best' carrier out there?
Initially, I always smile as this is a tricky question. My reply usually begins with something along the lines of, "What is best for you, may not be best for everyone?"
I continue to say that slings are quite an individual fit before asking for more details of how, when and where a family want to

Introduction:
Hi. I’m Alex. Wife to Mark, and Mum to Ben aged 6, and Lily and Ella now aged 1. Mark and I fell in love with travel when we first went to live in the UK from New Zealand in 2004. A hobby turned in to an obsession. The arrival of Ben meant we had to think differently about travel, but he fitted right in and at the age of 6 has been to about 25 different countries.
When Lily and Ella joined our family in 2012, we wanted to continue to travel and in the style we were accustomed to (a bit of comfort here and there, but mainly independently). A decision to move back to NZ had us stuffing as much travel in to 2017 as we could, finishing with a 10 week journey through parts of South East Asia.
We knew that carrying both girls was going to be an additional challenge, and that taking care of our backs (as we wouldn’t be getting as many “breaks” from carrying as with 1) was going to be hugely important.
I’d used an ergo Baby successfully for several trips with Ben when he was

Top Question
Doesn't it hurt your back?
In short, NO. If it did then I wouldn't do it! A properly fitted ergonomic carrier will be comfortable for any amount of time, with any age of child and they will feel (virtually!) weightless when you wear them.
High street, narrow based carriers WILL hurt your back because they are not ergonomically designed for baby or wearer which is the reason I don't have any of them in
Have you been wearing your baby, but you're not convinced they look 'right'? Here's how to correct a couple of common mistakes to keep baby in an optimal carry position.
'C' Shape Spine
 |
Baby is cuddled in to mum, with his spine in a naturally formed 'C' shape. |
 |
What's Wrong?Baby is hugged in too close to mum. This can restrict the airways, increase the chance of baby overheating and holds baby's spine in an natural curve. How do I correct this?Loosen the straps at the sides of baby to allow the spine to relax and form the optimal 'C' shape. |
 |
What's Wrong?Baby is not held close enough to mum. There is a risk that baby could slump down in the carrier, restricting baby's airway. How do I correct this?Tighten the straps to the sides of baby, so he is cuddled in to your body and his spine is in the optimal 'C' shape. This should also make baby's head "close enough to kiss", one of the TICKS safety rules of babywearing |
'M' Shape Position

Baby's legs are positioned, so the knees are above the |

One of the fundamental hopes most pregnant women nourish is to be able to smoothly and pleasantly breastfeed their baby. And for good reasons, there are many health risks of not breastfeeding for both mother and child. For infants, not being breastfed is associated with an increased incidence of infectious morbidity as well as elevated risks of childhood obesity, type 1 and type 2 diabetes, leukemia, and sudden
Our NEW Omni 360 in an amazing Herringbone style is here and everyone is loving it! 😍
Like our Omni 360 carrier, comfy and stylish, we've pulled together an outfit from the high street, perfect for a family adventure as baby naps safely on your chest in your gorgeous new baby carrier.
Classic striped breton shirt [Boden] underneath a beautiful, chunky knit cardi [Fatface], keeping you snug and allowing you to quickly shield baby from sudden gusts. Also, cardis are great when babywearing, as they're easy to remove if you get a little too warm carrying baby, but easy to get back on again if it starts getting chilly.
Comfortable, flat shoes [Superga] for keeping you steady on your feet as you carry your precious cargo and/or running around after your older kids.
Keys, phone and wallet can be packed in the detachable storage pouch and secured to your Omni 360 carrier. (You might even be able to squeeze in some wipes!)
Pack your other day trip essentials and keep them closeby in your

Pregnancy is an intense period in any woman’s life, filled with surprisingly rich and varied emotions, as well as visions of your future life as a mother. Amidst the joyful prospects of soon being able to welcome your little one, some expectant mothers are concerned that they may develop a postpartum reaction or depression.
Postpartum depression is among the most disabling
