Stretchy wraps don’t have to be complicated and support doesn’t have to be expensive.

Fancy a low cost option for a wonderful snuggle bamboo and cotton stretchy wrap that has two-way stretch (making it easier to use)? And supportive videos to get you started? With support via WhatsApp included too- so you know you have done it safely?

I have a few stretchy wraps available on my hire scheme at the moment ❤️

(Can’t drive yet? I can post them out for an extra £4)

Cold mornings are on their way! But it doesn’t have to mean buying something new… unless you want to! So let’s start a keeping warm mini series 👏

When babies and toddlers start to have there arms out of a carrier most of the time then you can easily still put their coat on while keeping it on the outside of the carrier.

This is important as it keeps the carrier snug against their body, with not bulky or padded fabric that may cause slumping over time or overheating.

Follow along for more top tips to save you money and keep your little one warm this autumn.

Based in Dorset or The New Forest? Come along to my monthly New Milton sling meet on the third Monday of the month (Hampshire/Dorset border BH25), my Slades Park walk and meet on the first Monday of the month (BCP - Ensbury Park BH10) or for 1-2-1 support in my Bearwood studio (Ferndown/Wimbourne/Kinson area BH11).

Further afield? Check out the support videos on my website or get in touch for a virtual fit check.

People often think that getting advice is expensive. And as much as I’d love to support everyone for free… that just doesn’t pay my mortgage 😅

But I’m incredibly aware that maternity pay for many people is pretty awful. So bring in my Slades Park walk!

It’s a social that’s free to attend, and support is only £5! So you can have a fit check on either your own carrier or one you have hired to make sure that you are comfortable and safe. And the big benefit? As we walk I can troubleshoot any issues you have and you can ask me as many questions as you like.

Why is it much cheaper I hear you ask… well I have no venue fees, it’s very relaxed and there isn’t time or space to do a full set up of your carrier (like in New Milton or Snugglebugs HQ). So it’s best suited for people who have given something a go out of the box and want some troubleshooting or just some confirmation that they have done it safely. Or even some recommendations on how to make part of it easier to use.

That’s it. No catch.

If you can, book in advance so I know to expect you or can bring something for you to hire.

1st Monday of the month 10am in the cafe Slades Park
See you there!

The most common request that I get?

I need something quick. Something easy.

But the honest answer? Everyone’s different!

For me, a ring sling is my easy and quick option. It feels intuitive, snug and part of my outfit. ❤️

But for you that might be a completely different carrier! Let me know in the comments what your quick and easy option is ⬇️⬇️

Thinking of giving a ring sling a try? Why not hire one to see if it’s your thing first?

Check out my hire website to book one to try, come find out more at a consultation or check out my tutorial videos on my website which include a fit check too!

Hands free cuddles are not just for babies! Struggling to detach your toddler from your leg so you can make lunch or finish that shopping trip? A carrier can be a great way to give them some cuddles and get them involved in what you are doing ❤️

How was this a year ago! At 18 months using a carrier was still very much part of our daily routine for making breakfast, lunch and sometimes dinner too.

This is the Lifft Slings pouch from the sling library in a size 2 - I also have a size 3 available to try on if you’re debating sizes. It’s a simple option with a shoulder flip holding the tension and keeping the fit snug around your little one. Because of this, it is important to get the size right, so it isn’t perhaps the best choice if you’re sharing between caregivers… unless you buy two!

I’m not sure about you guys, but I love this time of year- watching the leaves start to fall as the season changes 🍁

Scroll to the end for more info on my newborn hire scheme, that helps bridge the gap before some commonly bought brands fit safely. And most importantly gives an affordable way to get support.

🍁 Slades Park walk on Monday 5th October - meet from 10am, walk sets off at 10:20. Fit checks, hire and support available or just attend for free for a chat, walk and cake! It would be lovely to have you join the Snugglebugs community. Book in advance if you wish to hire so I can bring something suitable.

Check out the link in my bio for more information on how I can support you!

I’ve put a pause on my Mums Art group for this month - so I can reflect, adapt and bring it back with a few changes in November 🤞 suggestions welcome!

What top tips would you like to see from my instagram over October?

I’ll be honest, I’ve been nervous about September ever since I handed my notice in at my teaching job. Taking the time back to be there for my family has been so worthwhile, but hey I still have bills to pay.

And typically 🙈 since leaving my job in July, Snugglebugs has been really quiet.

Don’t get me wrong, I’ve met lots of wonderful families… but less people are booking consultations…and Slades Park walks and art club have been quiet too.

So I would be ever so grateful if you could help me out (and it doesn’t cost a penny!).

Top tip today! Waistbands being loose can cause extra strain on your back as they then tend to slip down at the front.

Using your hand to steady the front is a handy tip to help you tighten it securely.

The here also offers two way adjusters (like many other wonderful carriers), which make it even easier to get a good fit.

Does your carrier have two way adjusters?
