How Do I Use The Neck Support On My Ergobaby Carrier?
It may be a rather small part of your carrier but using your baby carriers' neck support correctly can make a difference to both baby's safety and comfort so we think it's really important! It's designed to be super easy to adjust depending on your baby's age and stage, and how you're carrying them.
Before we get started, please note that the first two points relate solely to our Adapt and Omni carriers as our Original or All Position 360 carriers need an infant insert for the early stages so the rules change a little here, and our Embrace and

Sling Library Spotlight - A Great Babywearing Resource
What is a Sling Library?
We often get asked by parents how they can choose between carriers, and the benefits of our carriers over those from other manufacturers and the best way to answer these questions is to see them in person and try them on. And there's nothing like taking a carrier home to figure out if it's right for you and your baby, but that's not always easy. That’s where sling libraries come in! They offer services where you can try lots of different types of carriers and hire them for a certain period of time.
Why use a Sling Library?
If the above wasn't enough, Sling libraries offer invaluable services to parents interested in babywearing who want to find out more and learn about their options. Often run by qualified babywearing consultants or peer supporters, each library will have a collection of baby carriers and baby wraps available for hire or for you to try before you purchase

World Breast/Chestfeeding Week 2021
We caught up with Dr Kiran Rahim (@themunchingmedic) to get her insight into breast/chestfeeding in the UK today for World Breastfeeding Week. Here's what she had to say...
As a Paediatrician, I fully support every parent’s right to feed her baby however she wishes. The choice between breast/chestfeeding and formula feeding can be daunting, especially if you are a first-time parents. Sadly having spent many many hours on the postnatal unit, talking to parents and their partners I know all too well the shame, guilt and embarrassment women feel surrounding decisions on how they feed their babies. Feelings that are furthered by the little support they may receive from services as well as the opinion of others. Opinions that range from ‘Breast is best’

How to deal with your fears about birth – and why it's so essential that you do
We have a brilliant guest blog for you today from birth coach Rachel Quickenden. Rachel is a mum of two little boys and lives in Kent. She is a birth coach, teaching hypnobirthing and antenatal courses and supporting expectant couples all the way up to birth. She discovered hypnobirthing after the birth of her first son - and it blew her mind!
She started learning about it after there were a few aspects of her own birth experience that didn't sit right with her, and she was also impacted by all the negative birth stories that she heard at baby groups.
She passionately believes that with the right preparation, any birth - however it looks - can be
