Babywearing Consultancy & Sling Library covering Staffordshire & Cheshire. My name is Nicolle (Nic) & I'm a fully qualified babywearing consultant.

I run 1:1 babywearing consultations from my home in CW12, helping people to find the right sling for them or get the most out of their existing one. I run a drop in library service covering Congleton, Crewe, Biddulph & Leek. Hires are £15 per month.

The sling library is now permanently closed. The FB page will be deleted but this page will remain for the memories.

Thank you once again for all your support over the years.

EDITED TO ADD - I did not think I’d get that many messages about purchasing slings 😂 I have one consultation left at the start of September & then I will get in touch with those of you who’ve messaged about something specific 🤍

Well guys, I have a huge announcement….

This may come as surprise for some, but after nearly 8 years of running the sling library, my time as a babywearing consultant has come to an end. This is absolutely not because there is no need for this service, there really is. But it’s time for me to move on and get my teeth into something new.

For a while now I’ve been wanting to return to my creative roots but I haven’t found anything that’s really gripped me. Well now I have and I want to give my all to it, which means unfortunately I need to give up the library.

In just under 8 years I’ve helped over 1000 babies be carried and met some wonderful people, even some life long friends. I’ve loved being a part of so many carrying journeys and I have some amazing memories that will stay with me forever.

I want to thank each and every one of you who has supported me over the years. For sharing my posts, passing my details on to your friends & choosing me to help you with your carrying journey, thank you.

I have already started to sell on the slings. Those of you who already have hires out will get first refusal on whether you’d like to purchase & if anyone wants a price on something they’ve hired previously, please DM the page.

If anyone would like to support me in my new venture over at over on Instagram I’d love that! It is very scary starting something new but I’m super excited about it.

Once again a huge thank you for your support….
Nic 🤍

Summer holiday information….⠀⠀
⠀
🌞 There will be no 1:1 consultations during August, my apologies. The diary is open for September so please book to avoid disappointment.

🌞 Doorstop hires will remain ongoing so if you know what you need please get in touch to arrange collection.

🌞 Babywearing in hot weather information is available on the FB and Instagram pages.

🌞 For those of you who have a sling on hire, I will always be available for advice. Please do not hesitate to get in touch should you have any questions. Running a small business means I am never really closed and I’m grateful for all your support so please do message.

Have a wonderful summer everyone & I’ll see you all in September.

Let’s stop with the labelling of Mums. As soon as you start labelling you start a divide.

We don’t want that. We need to unite, support and be there for one another.

The one thing we all are though is tired Mums. We are tired and we need to vent sometimes. We need to hear that other Mums are going through the same thing and we need solidarity.

Of course I tell my children all the time I’m a cool Mum though 😜

You wouldn’t buy a pair of jeans without trying them on first & the same goes for slings!

Firstly, what is a stretchy? It’s a long piece of material that you wrap usually a newborn in. All stretchies stretch vertical. Two way stretchies stretch vertical AND horizontal. Problem being, most manufacturers don’t state this in the description.⠀
⠀
I’ll be honest, I avoid one ways like the plague. I hate them. This is how it goes….⠀
⠀
Parent buys one way stretchy, not knowing about one or two way. ⠀
Parent watches a two way video.⠀
Parent can’t fathom why stretchy isn’t doing what it does on the video.⠀
Stretchy isn’t tight enough, baby doesn’t feel safe, baby cries. ⠀
Parent thinks baby hates the sling.⠀
⠀
This isn’t all the time but more often than not. One ways, whilst they work perfectly fine, you do have to faff with them a little to get them tight enough & I find faffing really puts parents off. You all seem to like ease and quickness. So do I!⠀
⠀
Two ways are much more forgiving, easier to use and when shown the difference, people immediately go for them over one ways.⠀
⠀
I’d always rather be honest and I know one way stretchies can work amazingly for some, but if you’re going to buy one, do yourself a favour and find out if it’s one or two way first. You can even DM/tag me and I’ll tell you! Or better yet, book in with me and you’ll enjoy a full hour of learning how to carry your newborn & even receive 3m hire.
