the sling library
What service do I need?
As the sling Library is run by volunteers, the amount of help and advice you can receive is limited due to resources and time constraints. You may find that your needs are greater than what the library is able to offer you.
One of our qualified Library Consultants, Susie Cooke, also runs her own baby wearing business. She offers private sessions and workshops, as well as retail, if you would prefer to learn and explore baby wearing at your own pace or if you have specific needs or circumstances. See her website www.helixbaby.co.uk for more information
