In my day to day career I am a secondary school teacher. Well as most of you are aware, today most of the main teaching unions (ATL, NASUWT, NUT, Heads etc) joined the TUC and about 30 public sector unions in day of coordinated action. I was therefore on strike. I am proud of it! However, I probably also did more work (planning/prep) than I would have managed at work.
The bonus of a day without my son around, other than the productive marking afternoon, was that I was able to offer a slot to a mama and her 13 week old who couldn't make Monday's library session. Aww so small. Mama practised with our demo dolly (effectionately known as Billy) before she tried out several soft structured carriers with her daughter. Our dolly (the boy one on the left in this picture weighs approximately 3.4kilos (7.5lb), is 52cm long and head circumfence of 34cm. I must at this point thank www.precious-bundle.co.uk who helped me get the dolly for use in the library.
www.precious-bundle.co.uk are a small internet based sling business offering a wide selection of premium brand baby carriers. The company are run by trained Trageschule babywearing consultants so are a good place to start.
One hour later one happy mama left with 2 of the libraries slings: our Ergo baby carrier and our Manduca. I love my little hobby. One more mama helped in my quest to help the north east carry their babies big and small.
