		<title>One Week as a Wrapper - Day 8</title>
		<description><![CDATA[At last!  I can start using other carriers!  But we have to catch public transport into town and somehow I find myself reaching for the wrap&#8230;. after all, it does work best for the bus.  I start to tie it around me and become aware of a terrible smell.  It&#8217;s the wrap - it reeks [...]

		<title>How to buy: pre-loved slings and carriers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I first got interested in using baby slings and carriers, I didn&#8217;t have any friends nearby who could show me their stash. The only &#8220;proper&#8221; sling in the local shops was a stretchy wrap that I didn&#8217;t think would suit my needs. So I started buying second-hand slings as a way of trying things [...]

		<title>One Week as a Wrapper - Day 7</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I can&#8217;t do it.  Just when I thought I&#8217;d developed a kind of wrapping invincibility, I find myself totally stumped by a simple challenge - breastfeeding in a wrap.  We&#8217;re out for a bushwalk and Meena is crouched over like a hunchback trying to reach my nipple; but I can&#8217;t get the wrap loose enough [...]

		<title>One Week as a Wrapper - Day 6</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Something strange happens as I ruck Meena on my back this afternoon - I enjoy it.  For the first time it feels instinctive and I get her in position without even thinking about what goes where.  It&#8217;s not a technique that follows any online instructions by an expert and probably won&#8217;t impress seasoned wrappers out [...]

		<title>Babywearing Affluenza</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I read the book Affluenza, by Oliver James, I initially felt smug.  Our society may have been wallowing in a mire of depression, caused by its addiction to acquiring material wealth and social status, but I was happily immune.  We were living a simple, non-materialistic life and the condition definitely didn&#8217;t affect me.
 
 Then I [...]

		<title>When Illness Strikes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A sudden (serious) illness hit us a few weeks ago and there were several things I was really glad I&#8217;d had the forethought (for once!) to have at home, so I&#8217;m sharing. It was a very high fever, sudden in onset and it turned my go-getting three year old into an almost unresponsive zombie until [...]

		<title>One Week as a Wrapper - Day 5</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The day begins with a fairly fear-free ruck for a walk to the shops.  I have a spring in my step as I feel like I&#8217;m starting to become a &#8216;real&#8217; wrapper.  Yes, one of those awe-inspiring babywearers who will grab a wrap even if there&#8217;s something else she could use instead.  I have to [...]

		<title>One Week as a Wrapper - Day 4</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve drifted into using a ruck for back carries - an ironic twist for a former ruck-impaired BWCC fan.   But the more I practice the more I like it - quick, comfortable and easy now that I realise the baby won&#8217;t fall out even if I don&#8217;t get a perfect &#8217;seat&#8217; under her bum.  And [...]

		<title>One Week as a Wrapper - Day 3</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I&#8217;m finding that the wrap is just as comfortable as a mei tai or structured carrier for long carries and it doesn&#8217;t really take that much longer to put on.  It&#8217;s not as if I&#8217;m on a tight schedule - we really have all the time we need to get it right.  I wear Meena [...]

		<title>One Week as a Wrapper - Day 2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[No rushing around this morning, so I feel relaxed as I toss Meena onto my back for a trip to the library.  She laughs at herself in the bedroom mirror and gives me the time to get my SHBC perfect.  She seems to like it better today now she&#8217;s not tired but I don&#8217;t like [...]
