A little About Me.... I first became interested in baby slings during my time in Indonesia in the Sumatran jungle.I started off backpacking in Thailand,and after getting bored with tropical beaches,(you do eventually),I decided to travel down to Sumatra to go on a jungle trek to see the orang utans in the wild.It was there that I met my husband,(a trekking guide,not an orang utan:)) Anyway to cut a long story short,I eventually,after a bit more travelling,ended up living in that village,getting married,and having my first child,a son,in a hut in the jungle. Every Indonesian mother carries their baby in a 'Kain Gendong' Basically it's a long strip of fabric,tied(sort of folded),in a complicated way,(for us westerners anyway).I couldn't help noticing how calm and contented all the babies seemed. Unfortunately,I couldn't get to grips with the tying of these slings.My Mother - in - law was NOT impressed with my lack of 'Kain Gendong tying 'skills',so she was quite relieved to see that I COULD carry her grandson without her watchful eye....
