Hello lovely baby wearers!

I just wanted to drop you a wee message to let you know that I will be closing down Lothian Sling Library and Hono Baby Sling Consultancy.

I have loved being a librarian and helping all the families in Edinburgh and the Lothians over the last 6 years. In this time me and my very good friend ran 3 years of Sling Show Scotland and set up a charity Carry Scotland. Its been epic but its time for something new. I still work for a lovely local wrap company, Oscha Slings, so I still feel a part of everything.

I would love someone to be able to provide the library service in Edinburgh as there are a few lovely consultants ( Rachael Barlee ) but there really should be a library provision.

Hit me up if you know of anyone and I can pass on the website/myturn.

Also please do get in touch if you are looking to purchase a sling as I have quite a few..........lol

Always with lots of love, Kimberley

Some tips from laurna from Coorie in with love

🔥 CARRYING IN THE HEAT 🔥

The weather is heating up again, so follow these simple tips and stay safe. Get in touch if you want to hire something cooler.

☀️ DRESS LIGHTLY
Dress yourself and baby in light clothing, long length for baby to protect skin.

☀️ STAY SHADED
Try to keep in the shade as much as possible, a brolly is great is there is none. And NEVER drape a buggy.

☀️ COVER THEIR HEAD
Use a hat with a wide brim or peak to protect baby from sun.

☀️ STAY HYDRATED
Stay hydrated and encourage baby to feed regularly. Even short small feeds will allow baby to stay hydrated.

☀️ SLING CHOICE
If possible, choose a sling designed for warmer weather. Like a solar, one with mesh or linen. If not, try to use a single layer carry or a back carry which is cooler.

☀️ REST
Rest as much as you can, break up a walk or day out by resting or swapping who carries. Allow baby a break out the sling too.
