More Sling Love
If you haven't met Melissa at Nurtured yet, I strongly urge you to come down and see her. You'll find her here some Thursday evenings, most Friday evenings, and Sundays, as well as the odd Saturday. Melissa has worked at natural parenting stores across Canada and has a lot to teach all of us here in Halifax where natural parenting is still in its infancy in a lot of ways. She has a wealth of knowledge about baby carriers, is our resident wool expert, and also knits in her "spare" time. She is mom to a four year old and a two year old and has a personality that is bubbling over with enthusiasm. Melissa left a comment on our last post about how using a sling improved her parenting experience, and she sent along some photos to share as well. In celebration of International Babywearing Week, here are some great photos of sling love...
:: Daddy walking at night with a fussy newborn so mommy can get some rest...April's note: why didn't I think of that? Also, I notice that the position the baby is in right now, belly to belly and feet near the pelvic bone, is actually the perfect position for a really great breastfeeding latch as taught by Rebecca Glover, one of my favourite breastfeeding advocates!
:: The end result of daddy's midnight walks...a happily sleeping baby.
:: Mommy and toddler in what he now calls "The Big Hug".
Thank you, Melissa for the photos and for sharing your story!
