Baby wearing conference


This weekend Becky and I attended the  European baby conference with Ergobaby. This is the first time we have had this event in the UK.


It was wonderfu to see such a wide variety of baby carriers in one place.  Not just on the exhibitor stands but also on all the parents who had come from far and wide to hear the excellent speakers and attend the workshops.


I was particular interested in the talks given by Dr Henrik Northolt about the affects baby wearing has on a person's emotional development. The research that proves that baby wearing is not just beneficial but almost essential for a child's development has been borne out by years of research, some of which Henrik shared with us during his talk.


As a store we have always promoted baby carrying not just for the convenience factor but because we think that it does make a difference to the long term well being of that baby, then child and ultimately adult. It's also the easiest way for a baby to attach to another human-being.
