I have a rose and rebellion sling and I love it - mei tai style but with buckles so easy to use, very comfortable as weight carried on hips and lovely padded shoulders, front and back carry, lovely patterns and all reversible to plain black.....and they are now sold in merry go round in Herne hill. I bought mine online a while ago but it would have been great to see them in the flesh first.


PS I don't work for Jackie in merry go round but I do love her shop and I think the slings are great and unusual to find them in a shop!

I have used it since 2.5months and it gets better (baby now 5 months) and I'm keen to try back carry now his neck is stronger. Apparently yiy can use them up to about age 4 but I also have a 2.5yo and haven't tried him in it.....not sure i ever will! Yes, it's on half moon lane juat near tales on moon lane.

Yes forward facing is not good for either the carrier or the carried - for mum/dad it puts much more pressure on the spine, and for baby, it means they are not in the ergonomically/developmentally preferred 'froggy' position (seated, legs wrapped round) which is better for their spine and yes, their bits if they are a boy!


I read an interesting article saying the for babies with hip problems, the braces that are used keep them in this same 'froggy' position - so think it's really optimal for the development. Also, sling time in the correct position counts as tummy time! I credit my son spending lots of time in the sling (and not too much having traditional tummy time) when very young as helping him crawl pretty early.


The Gemini is a lovely sling, I use it everyday in the facing in position and find that once big enough babies can see loads by looking out over the side so no real benefit for me to facing out with a larger baby. Some of the prints are lovely but I must admit I also covet a Rose and Rebellion and they are more lightweight.

I still use our old baby bjorn (soooo uncomfortable by comparison!) In face out mode occassionally as I keep it in the car as emergency sling.


R and r sling is v v lightweight and folds up v small so can fit in bag, under pram etc. Beco seems a bit more structured I think.

      Working from home - pros and cons

      By Sue · Posted

      I also recently waited 30 minutes to speak to someone at HMRC. First of all, they had indicated the wait time from the outset. Secondly, it is a very busy time for them,  with  the 31 January deadline looming. Thirdly, I might be confusing them with some other organisation, but I think they gave other options including for them to phone you back if you didn't want to hang on. Anyway, my main point is that I don't know whether the person I spoke to was working from home or not, but there was no background noise, she was incredibly sympathetic and helpful, and to my utter disbelief she extended the deadline for me to the end of March 😮  The reason was that I couldn't do my online return due to  my laptop meltdown, and had been told repair could take up to 28 working days. She thought that a deadline of the end of February might not be long enough  I was fully expecting to be told that it was my own fault for not getting the return in before. So credit where credit's due, basically. I've previously found HMRC staff very helpful in patiently  explaining in simple language stuff in the rules which I couldn't understand. As for working from home, I'm long retired from working for others, but I have both on occasion worked well into the night/over weekends to meet critical project deadlines,  and also on occasion skived. But in the first job I was being paid a lot, and in the second job I wasn't 🤣

      Loud Bass Dovedale Road

      By Sue · Posted

      I can't help with pinpointing the source of the bass, but I have found playing white noise helps to mask unwanted sounds, and it's also quite soothing (in a way). I ask Alexa to play white noise, which must make a nice  change for her from asking what the temperature and/or weather is outside, or asking her to sing the Doggy Song, which is usually all she does (present from my brother). But probably you can get a white noise app on your phone. Have you contacted Southwark Noise Control (?) who may be able to trace where the bass is coming from?

      Adam Richman eats football, Adam Richman eats Britain. So, asking for a friend, where the name Eats Dulwich came from?
