Brrrrr! It's definitely getting chilly! It's important to remember to keep baby and you nice and cosy when carrying, and to do so safely. Below are some great tips from Carrying Matters - Dr Rosie Knowles on how to do that. We will have a table of examples to look at and try at our meet on Saturday 15th 10-12. See you there!

Join us for our last meet of 2018! We'll be ready for you in our Christmas jumpers with mince pies and other cakey goodness to wish all of you a very merry Christmas. We are holding it on a Saturday this month so bring along other parents,caregivers, siblings that might have any questions. Or that just like cake! Thinking of asking for a sling for Christmas? Come and try ours before you buy! Have your own sling and need help with fitting? We do that too! As always, 1:1 consul...ts available, please message the page to book, or just turn up and we'll get to you. Look forward to seeing you all, MSL team x

Who is going to see the fireworks this weekend? A sling is the perfect way to get through the crowds, have your small person high enough to see the beauty that is the fireworks, and to comfort them and help protect their ears against the bangs and pops! My kids all love fireworks, but the smalls always, without fail, need a lift and a cuddle! A sling saves my arms and shoulders when they need up! Grab your sling at the weeks Sling Meet (Friday, 10-12noon, Williamson Hall) so aid an easier bonfire night!

We will have examples of how to keep cosy in the winter when carrying your little ones. As usual we will be there to help with adjustments of fitting your own sling, or can offer guidance if you are looking to try something new. Please message our page to book a 1:1 consult if you require a little more time. Cake and refreshments as always, small reading corner, and a look at our newest additions to the library stock.

🎉🎉 WE TOOK IT HOME!!! 🎉🎉
We are sooooooo chuffed to announce that we are one of only 2 libraries in Scotland to own a #GeekyBaby, brand new, just launched at sss, Geeky Baby Carrier.
This half buckle is soooo comfy: has an easy to secure and adjust buckled waist, a never-been-seen-before clinching design which makes it completely adjustable for small babies and toddlers, and wrap straps to provide security, adjustability and comfort for you and baby.
... This has been Samantha's baby for many years now, and we are so proud of her for making her dreams happen ❤️
We took home the green carrier, and it will be out at the October Sling Meet for a play and hire!

Me and hubby opted to have a private consult as we both wanted to baby wear. Well what a great lass we had come and visit us and give us heaps of helpful advice hints and tips. We ended up hiring a sling that we are both happy and feel so reassured as Tasha took the time to get to know our needs. Also feel very confident with using it and know that Tasha and other ladies are up to help if we have any problems at all! :-)
