Babywearing with Sarah Claridge of South London Sling Library {S1E10}

Today I talk to Sarah of South London Sling Library about babywearing and slings. We covered so much more than that though! We talked about: Why babies love to be carried so much (hint: it's in their biology, you're not doing anything wrong!) How we are designed as a species to carry our baby How wearing your baby affects your hormones Why keeping your baby close makes them feel safe Normal infant behaviour and why society is so out of kilter with it The importance of tea as a new mother How to choose a sling for a newborn How to get help with babywearing I think using a sling, especially in the early days of motherhood, is one of the kindest things you can do for yourself as it allows your hands to be free to do other things like drink tea! This episode is a must-listen for pregnant and new mums, especially if you are having trouble calming your baby during the day.
