Sling support and hire sessions at Born in Bristol now take place from 10am to 12pm on a WEDNESDAY once a month.
Sessions will be run on an appointment basis to minimise the numbers of people waiting in the shop.
Appointments can be booked for 30 minutes (£10) and can be used to support you with your existing sling or carrier, or for you to try 2-3 carriers from the sling library.
To book a slot, send Anna a message via the page, fill in the Google form here: bit.ly/CoSSupport or email [email protected].
If any of the following apply:
• you aren't sure what type of sling might suit you;
• you want to try multiple options before hiring;
• you or your baby has medical issues;
• you have multiples and want to tandem carry;
• you want to learn a particular skill, such as back carrying, using a woven wrap, breastfeeding in a sling/carrier;
You might prefer to book a one to one consultation at a time to suit you in your own home or at Carry on Slinging HQ in Ashton BS3. Prices start at £10 for 20 minutes on Zoom, £18 for 30 minutes at HQ, and from £35 at your home/another venue.
Rather than allowing access to the whole library of slings at these sessions, I will ask you to fill in the questionnaire (bit.ly/CoSSupport) beforehand so that I can select suitable slings/carriers for you to try during your appointment. If there is a particular sling or carrier that you wish to try, you can request this and I will do my best to facilitate this. Note that where slings are already on hire, or require washing on return from hire, this may not be possible.
Sling/Carrier hire is £10 per fortnight (must be returned to Carry on Slinging HQ) or £18 per 4 weeks (until the next meet at Born in Bristol).
If you know the sling/carrier that you wish to hire, you may reserve it for collection at the session (without fitting, though links to videos showing how to use it will be provided by email). You will be required to complete an online hire form and make payment beforehand so that you can just collect it without a fitting.
Doorstep hires and Zoom consultations are available if you can't make a meet. See bit.ly/CoSSupport for more information or contact Anna on ‭07753856441‬ or at [email protected]
