Description

Curious about babywearing but not sure where to start? Our Sling Library and Babywearing Support service is here to help.

Choosing a carrier can feel overwhelming, especially when there are so many different styles, brands and ways to carry your baby. We offer friendly, practical support to help you explore your options and understand what might work for you and your family.

Whether you're completely new to babywearing, struggling to get comfortable with a carrier you already own or interested in trying something different as your baby grows, we're here to help.

Our trained babywearing team can guide you through carrier fitting, adjustments and safe carrying practices. We want you to feel confident using your carrier and comfortable asking questions.

Our sling library gives families the opportunity to explore and hire carriers rather than having to buy something new straight away. This can be particularly helpful when you're still finding your feet or your baby's needs are changing.

We welcome parents and caregivers with different experiences, budgets and needs. You don't have to know anything about babywearing before getting in touch.

The service is run by The Parenting Collective CIC, a local not for profit organisation supporting families across Greater Manchester.

Get in touch to find out about available support, carrier options and upcoming sessions.
