Brighton Sling Babies: 18 October

PLEASE BOOK ONE TICKET PER FAMILY. You are welcome to bring a partner, grandparent or friend!

10am: Newborn Workshop

A 60 minute workshop, covering the principles of newborn positioning and babywearing safety, and how to use a strethy wrap and/or a close caboo. Free stretchy wrap or caboo hire, or bring your own carrier. You are very welcome to join us before your baby has arrived - we have demo dolls to practice with.

11am: Sling Support Slots

10 minute slots with a trained peer support volunteer. Try from a wide range of slings and carriers from baby to preschool, available to hire for the month, or for help with fitting your own sling.

In order to ensure everyone receives support, each family will have time to be supported with one sling / carrier or issue. Families with similar needs will be grouped to maximise the support available to all.

We will endeavor to see families in the order you arrive - we will not have capacity to support anyone arriving after 11.45.

COST

• FREE fitting support from trained peer support volunteers
• FREE stretchy wrap hire
• All other carriers are £10/month. If you intend to hire, please bring photo ID, and create an account in advance here: https://brightonslingbabies.myturn.com
