Sling and Baby Carrying Support

July Sling Library Meet Up

Wednesday July 8th 1-2.30pm in the Community Room at Tesco Extra Fratton.

Option One – Sling Social:

Free

Come along and meet up with other parents who also like to carry their babies, have a drink and maybe some cake. Browse the sling library’s extensive range and give them a try. If you decide you’d like to borrow one, you can do so using option 3 or 4 below.

Option Two – Fit Check:

£3

Bring your own sling or carrier and have a fit check with one of our trained peer supporters. Or choose a library sling and have a fit check with one of our peer supporters.

Option Three – Sling Hire:

£10-30

If you already know which sling or carrier you want to borrow or have already had a fit check then use our Hire Form to keep it for 1-4 weeks.

Option Four – Mini Consultation:

Book ahead or on the day (if there are slots left) for a mini consultation with our trained sling consultant. Explain what your needs are for a sling and get support to choose one that may suit you and learn how to put it on. The cost of the mini consultation is £10 or free with a sling hire.
