It started off with two like-minded mamas private messaging each other on BabyCentre...
The very first sling meet for Sheffield Babywearers was 14th July 2010 when four slinging ladies met up at Endcliffe Park to discuss all things babywearing. On Wednesday 18th July we celebrated our second birthday at Endcliffe Park with two of the founder members in attendance (sadly Kate had a poorly boy to look after, although we did save her some cake).
Despite the weather being somewhat changeable it was a well attended meet with fourteen mamas plus children. We were also pleased to welcome new members to our birthday celebrations.
Bright and early on Sunday morning, seven members of Sheffield Babywearers gathered with a whole heap of other ladies, dressed in various amounts of pink, to do the Sheffield Race for Life.
We all walked carrying a baby or toddler to raise money for Cancer Research. Many of us have friends and family who have been affected by cancer and we all feel strongly about the value of supporting this cause.
