All the questions that you might have on all of our MaByLand Baby Carriers.

If your questions are not on here, please contact us on enquiries@mabyland.com or 0208 879 0080 and we will try our best to help you.

In this article we are going to explore and compare both the MaByLand Trek Snuggle Carrier and the Baby Bjorn Original Carrier.  We will discuss the pros and cons of each carrier in hopes that you will find it useful when you come to decide which carrier is more suitable for you!

An article written to help parents who are thinking about buying a baby carrier or sling. 

The second of our first-time parents checklists! With the help of some other mummies from our Facebook page as well as our focus groups we have put together a list of parenting essentials, “must-haves” to buy before your baby arrives!  We felt that there are so many products out there that claim to be essentials, (but we all know they can’t all be!) so we’ve narrowed down the true essentials!

I'd like to think I’m organised... so I have enlisted the help from a few other Mummy’s and put together some baby checklists for new parents! We all forget things, so we thought we’d help you out a bit and make your pregnancy and birth a little easier! The first list we have put together will help you pack for hospital and labour! If any of you are reading this and feel we may have left something out, email us on enquries@mabyland.com and I’ll add your suggestion straight away! Thank you, and we hope this helps. 

Baby Wearing Basics

What is Baby Wearing?

“Baby Wearing” simply describes when a parent or carer holds their baby or toddler by using either a cloth sling or structured baby carrier.

Interesting Fact! - The term ‘babywearing’ is a relatively new, but the practice of babywearing is as ancient as mankind, it has even been argued that the earliest baby carrier/sling (believed to be made from animal skins and/or plant fibres) should be considered as one of the first manmade tools! Our ancestors were quick to realise that the best way to keep their little one safe, warm/cool, and content whilst still being able to continue with their day was to wear their baby.

Over the years we seemed to have moved further away from this time-tested and traditional childrearing approach, but now baby carriers and slings are beginning to make their comeback!

Is Baby Wearing Just a Trend?

New parenting trends, styles, do’s and don’ts, seem to continuously make headlines.  The most talked about ‘trends’ in recent years have been ‘Attachment Parenting’ and ‘Kangaroo Mother Care KMC’, two celebrated parenting styles which have brought baby wearing to the forefront. More importantly, parents and carers aren’t just wearing their baby because infants are the latest ‘accessory’, there have been numerous studies into the benefits of baby wearing for both the wearer and baby, the results of which are staggering and haven’t been ignored!

Capturing all the drama of the BBC's Dragon's Den, this exciting live event will take place every day of the exhibition in a new home on the National Hall Gallery at London Olympia.

All visitors are invited to join the audience to watch as each day, five entrepreneurs get the ultimate adrenaline-charged opportunity to present their idea to a panel of top buyers and industry experts.

If they can convince the panel that their idea is worth taking to the next level, they are a step closer to getting their product on store shelves or the help they need to bring it to market.
