If you met the lovely Kate at Baby cafe at the start of October, she has now set up a carrier clinic in LUDLOW! Link to book on the original post.

Hey all, we've had a lot of enquiries recently for a baby carrier clinic in Ludlow, so i've tried to get one on the books as quickly as possible!

This is one of our one to one appointment based carrier clinics, They are typically an hour long and give you the opportunity to sit with a baby wearing expert and try out different baby carriers to find one that works best for you.

We offer help with fitting your carrier, picking a baby carrier for newborns, babies, toddlers and preschoolers, carrying twins, back carrying, stretchy wraps, woven wraps, and feeding in a carrier.

You are welcome to hire one as well, (we don't retail though!)

Booking via this link or through our website ###

Just to note, this is in addition to our free once monthly drop ins at the OCA infant feeding group held at Helena Lane, where we offer free fit checks of your carriers, and general chats about babywearing. We are at that group on the 3rd Tuesday of the month

A couple of reminders from me, that in the UK most health care professionals are NOT trained to assess for tongue ties or oral function. It's an extra skill that only some will have learned, it's not part of basic training.

And, that assessing oral function, and for tongue ties, will always involve a gloved finger or fingers in the baby's mouth usually for a couple of minutes or more, and as part of a full assessment where feeds are observed and feeding history taken.

So if someone has just looked in your baby's mouth and said there is no tie, this is your sign to ask someone who is qualified. And they will never, ever mind telling you about their qualifications when asked, in fact they'll be thrilled!

And remember, dividing a tie isn't always the magic answer, and will usually be part of other recommendations and support.

That little voice in your head? You’re allowed to listen to it. 🤍

New parenthood comes with so much advice.

“Babies do that.”
“That’s normal.”
“The latch looks fine.”
“It’s supposed to hurt to be start with”

And sometimes, that reassurance is exactly what you need.

But sometimes you’re left thinking…

“I know my baby, and something doesn’t feel quite right.”

That feeling is worth listening to.

It doesn’t mean something is definitely wrong. And it doesn’t mean you need to worry about every little thing.

It simply means you can ask for help.

If feeding is painful, stressful, unusually difficult, your baby is struggling to feed, or you simply feel that something isn’t right, consider speaking to a qualified, trained infant-feeding professional who can assess your individual situation.
You don’t have to wait until you’re completely overwhelmed.

You don’t have to prove that things are “bad enough” to deserve support.

You can ask questions. You can seek a second opinion. You can trust your instincts.

And most importantly, getting support isn’t failing at feeding.

Getting support is caring for yourself and your baby. 🤍

Save this for the days when you need the reminder — and send it to a new parent who might need to hear it too.
