PRIVATE SLING CONSULTATION
If you’d like a more in-depth look into babywearing and sling support then book a one on one consult with one of our qualified sling consultants.
Here you will have the opportunity to explore what we touch on in a sling library session but with the focus on you. We spend an hour with you to go over all of the basics and detailed knowledge on making the sling work for you.
TAKE YOUR PARENTING TO THE NEXT LEVEL
ONE HOUR CONSULTATION FOR £40
I’m Rosie, mum of four small humans, lover of tea, books and music and collector of ghosts!
I was introduced to babywearing by my sister and have been carrying all of my children in various slings and carriers since they were tiny! We’ve all benefitted from babywearing, whether it’s been to keep a new baby close or have hands free for a bigger sibling (or cup of tea!)
I genuinely think a sling is one of the best investments for a new parent or carer and will impart benefits and skills for anyone who wants to learn. Parenthood can be tricky to negotiate, the sling library has been an amazing way to connect with other parents, carers and the wider community!
I am also a qualified Sling Consultant and love offering one on one consultations to parents in the community.
I'm Cate and I'm a mum of seven, lover of all things boobs and teach people how to make their own boob pots!
I first started carrying my babies back in the mid noughties. I had the obligatory Baby Bjorn carrier and really didn't know much about carrying babies at all but very quickly it sparked a passion in me and I am proud to say that I've carried all my babies throughout their childhoods sometimes two or three at once!
I have found baby wearing one of the most helpful tools that I have used to help my babies. Having had clingy little ones, I found being able to carry them around in a sling keeping them as close as I could has enabled me to keep them happy and continue to care for my others whilst going about my day. I qualified as a Sling Consultant with Slingababy last year. I am also an avid breastfeeder with training so am really excited to offer feeding in slings support to help support you and your little one on your breastfeeding journey.
