About this Event

The sling library is a space where you can get help with pretty much all things babywearing and feeding in the slings! Jasmin McGonigle will do the utmost best to support you.


<h4>Who is it for?</h4>

The sling library is for parents and carers of babies, toddlers and preschoolers. You can also come if you are still expecting your baby and try some slings on with a demo doll/learn to belly wrap your pregnant belly if you fancy trying this out.

The sling library is inclusive and non-judgemental; we welcome all families and we don't care if you haven't been able to wash your hair in days!


<h4>What happens during your appointment?</h4>
  • Jazz will show you how to use your sling or the library's sling by demoing, guiding you or putting buckle carriers on you (to speed things up) and then showing you how to use the carrier you want to hire. Each person learns differently, so she will adapt to you.
  • You can either use your own baby (best to check the fit of buckle carriers) or a demo doll if you prefer or if that's easier (or if it's safer within the time frame, especially with back carries or babies who don't fancy going in the sling on the day, it happens!).
  • You will go over safety aspects and receive a safety leaflet (it will also be emailed).
  • If you run out of time and you need a bit more help, another consultant/peer supporter might be able to offer you extra time if possible on the day (we can't make guarantees).
  • So as to accommodate everybody on the day and reduce waiting times, you may be paired up with 1 or 2 other parents coming to learn the same skill.
  • You can hire a sling/s on the day.
  • You can hire any sling for as long as you want, see fees and hire length below.
  • Feel free to hang out if you need to feed/change your baby/chat with other parents. It is a breastfeeding friendly space.


<h4>What happens after the sling library?</h4>
  • After the sling library, Jazz will email you links to video tutorials and sling safety.
  • You can send her pictures on Whatsapp if you have any concerns or questions.
  • You will be reminded via email to return your sling 3 days before the due date and you can choose to return the sling either at the next sling library session or by post (postal instruction will be given), or to renew the sling hire. The fees are £5/month for stretchy wraps and Close Caboos. For all other types of slings: £5/week, £15 for 1 month or £10/month with a minimum 2 months' hire.


<h4>How much is it?</h4>
  • £20 for a 20 mins slot including a 4 weeks' hire of a sling or 2 months for stretchy wraps and Close Caboos
  • £15 for a 20mins slot to learn to use your own sling
  • £10 for an additional sling hire for 4 weeks
  • There is also the opportunity to hire a sling without having a 1-2-1 consultation.

The charges cover the cost of the room hire, cost of slings, boring admin stuff like insurance and IT, washing of the slings and other expenses.

Jazz looks forward to meeting you all and supporting you on your babywearing journey!


<h4>When are the Sessions?</h4>

The sessions are monthly:

  • 11.45am to 2.15pm on Monday 30th September


<h4>How do I book?</h4>


<h4>We don't believe in booking systems because every family and situation is unique, so please get in touch using the form via the below link and tell us how we can help you. Jazz will get back to you ASAP (she has 2 small children so please be patient!).</h4>
