Feeling inspired and energised for the week after attending the startup day. Was lovely meeting some familiar faces and some new. Thank you again for making me so welcome. Takeaways for the day- community is key, boundaries are important when juggling a business and family, and when you lift others, you lift yourself too. I will also work on my photography skills- but I was too busy enjoying.

Baby wearing can be great if you are out and about and don’t/can’t use a pram. I used a sling for both my babies and it was a real sanity saver at times.

It really helped having a local sling consultant to help check fit for me and my children, as it isn’t always a one size fits all. If you have any issues with your sling, please contact this local organisation. If you have any remaining discomfort that is affecting your journey, I am more than happy to take a look.

Cold weather carrying tips!

Here are some of our top tips for carrying in the cold:

* Thin layers for both of you. Snow suits aren't recommended due to the risk of overheating, potential slumping down inside and the inability to tighten the sling/carrier properly (much like car seat straps).
Thin layers such as fleece all in ones are much safer and easier to use.

* Extremeties (parts that aren't covered by the sling/carrier - head, hands, legs) need to be kept warm too. Hats with under chin ties can be useful for older babies who like to throw them off. Some thin fleece suits have fold over parts for the hands but I also use mittens sewn onto string, again to stop them being chucked off! We sell Moomo Baby Leg Warmers so message us to purchase those!

* Babywearing coats are fab. You can also pick up carrying fleeces quite cheaply. Alternatively a larger sized coat will usually do up at least over little one's feet, or a cover that goes over your sling/carrier. We have babywearing coats and sling covers available to hire.

* Make sure your little one's airway is clear and not in any way obstructed by scarfs or your coat.

* Your sling counts as at least one layer. Your child will also be getting your body heat.

* Think about the footwear you are wearing if it's wet/icy/unstable ground.

* If you're unsure, pop us a message for some advice ❤️

This time last year I was preparing to start working in Northampton, having relocated during maternity leave. I knew that this time i wanted to start my own clinic, rather than work for someone else. I hadn’t got premises, or any idea of how I would start, but I had been building experience over the last 17years. It has been scary, and exciting. I continue to learn and build every week. Flash forward, I am at the end of one of my busiest months. After calculating rent and outgoings etc, I am still in the black, even through half term this week and toddler lurgy earlier in the month. I’m not there yet, but the hard work is paying off. Thank you everyone for helping me build this dream together.

Happy face as I am now back in my downstairs treatment room as of this week. It’s a much brighter and lighter space, and much more . Hadn’t realised how much I was missing working in this room.

I first met Sam about a year ago at a networking event organised by BIPC Northamptonshire. She was friendly and welcoming and I knew that when I had the chance, that I would like to work with her. As luck would have it, that chance came earlier in the summer. I was impressed by her skill as a photographer but also the soft skills- asking and listening to what I want and need out of a photo shoot. I am so glad. She has been a support both as a friend but as a talented artist. Thank you Sam x
