Parenting North East

This is one hour of a consultants time and includes a free hire.

An overview of types ofslings suitable for a newborn, safety guidelines and how to achieve them and the chance to try a couple on. Slot for a family of up to two caregivers and their child.

We will talk about how slings can help you and your upcoming child adjust to your new life. We will explore subjects like bump wrapping, feeding, how skin to skin can help after birth. We will look at the different types of suitable slings and baby carriers and try a couple on.

Make an appointment to return your borrowed sling on Mondays or Fridays. Please note, if you'd like to try on some other slings you should make a sling fit appointment instead.

There is time in a sling fit to look at two options in a front or hip carry for a single child and borrow one sling. You may be helped by an experienced peer, a qualified peer supporter or a qualified sling consultant, depending on availability.
If you feel you need a different option or would like to try more slings you should book a full consultation.
