Stockport Sling Library

So we’ve got a few little things to giveaway as some festive competitions for you. Our first little contest is to give our latest arrival a new name, it’s amazing what you can get in a box nowadays! Chloe has been chatting to her this morning but she needs a name! Suggestions below please and our favourite name will get a little prize!

So we’ve been buying some more stuff for you, a toddler sized LennyLamb onbuhimo 😍

Day 6 of #babywearingadventchallenge Shopping ! Slightly different type of shopping for me today at a flowers wholesaler !

Lots of sling spotting at the Christmas markets today! We had lots of snuggles to keep us both warm 😍 - anyone else used their slings around the markets? #babywearingadventchallenge

So we’re very excited to have this all new Baby Tula half buckle carrier (so it has a buckle waist and tie on straps) to try at the moment. It will be here at the meet tomorrow so you can have a play. We’ve been trying it out on the school run 🤩

As they’re proving so popular we’ve just added two more Integra Baby carriers to the library 😍

This is our new Baby Tula United Kingdom Explore Carrier. Tulas first forward facing out Carrier (as well as parent facing, hip and back carrying ). I’m impressed with the soft cotton material used and love the geometric pattern. It has a structured waistband with a side fastening buckle. It adjusts like the Tula Free to Grow for use from birth without an insert. The hood has 2 height positions and is removable. There is also adjustable padding around the head and neck which folds down to allow for forward facing out. It also has a pocket on the waistband for storing your phone or keys. This carrier has similarities to the Ergo 360 and Ergo Omni and is placed at the higher price end of buckle carriers at approx £154. However it’s well made, structured and will last into toddlerhood! Available to hire from Friday !

Morning just a reminder that the Sling Library Meet is NOT on today we had to move it to this Friday 9th Nov hope to see you there x

The sling library was invaluable on helping to identify the right slings for me. Being able to try them before investing in a big item like this is very helpful so you don't end up spending a fortune on something that doesn't work. Luisa and Liz are very knowledgeable about the slings and how to wear them. It's reassuring to have this level as support as a first time mum.

Thank you for being so helpful! Loved the way this works, have a talk about what I want to get out of using a sling! I've borrowed one and found the advice fantastic that I feel like I actually know what I'm doing � thank you lovely ladies!! Highly recommend this group of your looking at different carriers/ sling but no idea where to start and want to try out before you buy?! Xx

Such a positive introduction to baby carrying with knowledgeable guides advising on the most comfortable slings for different ages. A lovely group of friendly mums with a welcoming atmosphere. Thank you for your help!

Lovely group, knowledgeable peer supporters and a warm, welcoming atmosphere.

I vitiated today for the first time, I had no idea where to start and found the library super helpful. The ladies know what they're talking about and I left with a caboo to try out and felt confident in giving it a go. Brilliant place to go if you fancy a sling but have no clue where to begin, thank you for your help! X

Everyone was so helpful and knowledgable. I’d definitely recommend going along to a sling meet!

Brilliant! So happy I went. Tried the caboo lite, first time slinger with a 3 week old babe. Its a game changer! The ladies running it are so friendly and supportive! Thanks!

Attended a newborn sling workshop today and would highly recommend it. Great to see a range of slings and have the pros and cons of each explained as well as the opportunity to try them out and ask lots of questions. The demonstrations and practical tips were great and I left feeling confident in using a sling safely. The price of the workshop also included tea and cake and sling hire for two weeks which is fab! Thanks again for being so helpful :)
