Sling Consultancy
Consultations can be held in your home or mine.
What happens at the consultation will depend on what you want. A sling consultation can include any of the following:
- You might have never carried a baby in a sling before and would like to learn more about the different types of slings and find out which sling works best for you and your baby.
- Touching on theoretical knowledge including ergonomically correct positioning of babies in slings in consideration of babies' development of spine and hips
- A demonstration of a wide selection of different carriers and the opportunity to try some
- Moving on to a different carrier from a sling your baby has outgrown
- Troubleshooting of an existing sling you already own
- Learn the technique of tying a woven wrap sling
- Learn how to carry your baby on your back.
- Any additional needs
Once you have decided on a sling or carrying method we will practice them step by step. I have a special demonstration doll you can practice with until you are confident to try it with your baby or until your baby is settled.
Ideally your partner can be present as well and you can both learn the techniques together.
