Does anyone know of a universal sling cover? I'm finding it a pain to pile layers of clothes on my baby for a short walk around the block. It would we great if there were some kind of fleecy thing I could fit over the sling instead of layers of clothes. Waterproof would be a bonus. Obviously I could use a blanket but its not draft proof and slips off.

I loved this one:

You can cover the baby when you carry on the front as well as the back.You can wear it as waterproof jacket,fleece warmer or together as a winter jacket.We both loved it! Pm me if you need more info ;)

If you have an Ergo, there's a fleecy outer layer as well as a rain cover that you can buy. We have both if you'd like to see if it works with your sling? I think there's something similar for the Baby Bjorn as well. Otherwise, I've been coveting a raincape from www.ottolondon.com to keep us both dry on the outside...but not sweltering underneathe!
Thanks everyone! I am really hoping to wear my own existing coat but just pop something cosy over the top of the baby sling. The bjorn one mentioned above would be perfect but it fastens at the top on two little hooks that my sling doesn't have.

Bloomchen mentioned MaM but I couldn't find it on Amazon. However, Snowboarder, that site you recommended also has the MaM which looks like what I am after. Thanks everyone!

I made my own, perhaps you have seen me wandering around ed with lo on my back, it's a blue m&s fleece which I cut a slit across the back and down and inserted two triangle pieces to give extra room for n, does just the job and actually I found I don't need a waterproof thing as I have hands for brolly... Stop me if you see me to take a look, it really was very easy!

I just bought a little lamb babywearing fleece which is not bad. It is suitable for front or back carries. It has an extra roomy bit for the baby and slit to poke their head out of. It's not the most glamorous item of clothing but I really feel the cold so I need to know I'll be warm... I also use my maternity coat which is a swing style coat and does up around both of us with an extra button I added (my LO is 1 so not tiny anymore!)

    • Thanks! I'll find out in a few weeks when I get the results! It was one of those disconcerting things where a disembodied voice keeps booming  at you to breathe in and hold it, then breathe normally. Apart from that it was OK, all completely painless. I imagine there will be quite a few people going from ED, though I presume it covers the whole Southwark area 
    • Two men behind ‘senseless’ felling of Sycamore Gap tree jailed for more than four years Good to see these two jailed today for four years. There’s something deeply disturbing about people who destroy trees—any tree. Whether it’s a centuries-old landmark or a sapling in a quiet park, trees are living beings that offer beauty, shade, and life. The men who cut down the Sycamore Gap tree are a stark example of how far some people will go to lash out at something peaceful and meaningful. People who harm nature like this aren’t just destructive—they are often deeply unhappy. It takes a troubled mind to look at a tree and see something to ruin instead of something to protect.

    • What a brilliant idea. I hope it went OK, Sue. 
    • Yes, the appointments were scheduled for every ten minutes. And there is no waiting area at all this time  (sometimes for medical checks there they have a very small area inside with 3 or 4 seats). If you have come by public transport, you have to sit on the steps up to the van if you are early,  which isn't pleasant in very hot sun or pouring rain, or else wander round Asda (there's no cafe in Asda, despite it supposedly being a superstore). It's one in, one out. I don't know what happens if you are late, but I doubt they would hold up everybody who came after you in order to fit you in.  There was someone immediately before me and someone immediately after me. That's what I did in the end , so thank you for that.  I gritted my teeth and got some exercise. It wasn't as bad as I expected 😀 I did get a 37 from Nigel Road back to Goose Green on the return journey, though!
