It's not all about stuff
The joys of sling
In 2009 and 2010 I was lucky enough to be a tester for the Mother and Baby Awards, courtesy of Jessica Milln. The first time, I tested toiletries, promoted to slings the next time. The main point of what I'm writing is to say how much of a difference testing the slings made to me and my husband. In particular, finding the babysense sling.
Bum Genius
My sisters and I were brought up in terry toweling nappies.I knew when I had children that I had no problem in doing the same for my children, no disposables for me. However, researching what to do when pregnant opened up a minefield. It took a long time to grasp exactly how these clever reusables worked (we’d decided to opt for next generation on from terries).
I scrolled through many, not necessarily user-friendly, reusable nappy websites. A lot assumed prior knowledge and talk of outer liners, inner liners, wraps, bamboo, cotton and so on were frustratingly inaccessible. I didn’t want to have a nappy that added more work to my soon to be new Mum life and looked for the most straightforward design.
The bumgenius nappies came up time and time again as the most simple, logical design.
Time starts now
Hello. This is the start of my blog. Nothing to say yet but wanted to write something. Back in a month (when I start up as a full time Mum after leaving life as a research fellow).
