Hopes and fears

Hopes...

so here we are - the first of any Wilkinet blogs. We've run Wilkinet as a service by family for family since the baby carrier's creation in the early 1980s.

I've wanted to create new content about our baby carriers for a while - a place to share thoughts, comments, experiences... and a place for Wilkinet mums and dads to come back from time to time to add their own feelings too.

I hope it can be somewhere that Sally - the babywearing pioneer that she is - can share some of her views on positive parenting... and realistic parenting too (8 children later she has a little experience on both).

I hope it's a place where I, Gideon - child number 3 of those 8, can escape from my 'work-at-home-dad' spare room office and float away from time to time out of the window and into the big wide world.

Fears
A blog is for life... not just for christmas. I fear that it might not even make it that far (it is September after all - so three until the festivities start).
