This is an hour long appointment with one of our consultants. You can choose the content of the consult, anything from a full introduction to newborn babywearing, trying on a range of slings, or learning a special skill, e.g. hip and back carries with your carrier, getting started with early back carries with younger babies, building up your confidence with woven wraps.

Consults are the best option for exploring carrying in complex circumstances.

Price includes one week’s hire of a sling.

This is an 30 minute long appointment with one of our trained staff, an excellent option for simple, quick support. This might be, for example, a fit check, learning how to use one new type of carrier (like a meh dai, or getting started with a front carry with a woven, or learning how to back carry with your buckle carrier). Slings can be hired from the library at this appointment.

Our one hour appointments may be more suitable if your needs are more complex or you have several things you want to learn!

A workshop is a group setting where people can learn together sociably. It’s a great way to have some fun, explore new skills in a quieter setting than the library drop in, and spend time with people at the same stage in life!
We limit the maximum number of people per workshop to six. This ensures we have enough time and attention to be able to concentrate on each member of the workshop and ensure everyone leaves with a smile

This is a drop-in session where you can come to try on and hire slings and carriers to suit you and your child. At busy periods there may be a wait and you may wish to book a one to one appointment instead.
No booking necessary.

This is an exciting collaboration with Northern Rail, South Yorkshire Travel and the Sheffield Sling Surgery.... We are planning a sling day out!

For some parents getting out the house is a big challenge, let alone using public transport. Northern are making a conscious effort to support the parenting community in using train services. During the trip attendees will receive, a one-day sling hire, tickets for train travel, safety guidelines and tips to make the most of your train travel experience.

Having a new baby can be wonderful, and terrifying. In this free workshop, we give parents-to-be a chance to prepare for their baby's arrival and consider the impact this can have on their mental health. We know that babywearing has helped many families; both as a practical tool for keeping life working, and also as a therapeutic intervention. Join us as we explore this topic and give you the chance to create a plan for coping and learn how to use a sling!

Please book one space per attending adult.
