Camden Babywearing Sling Library

The sling library is a space where you can get help with pretty much all things babywearing and feeding in the slings! Jasmin McGonigle will do the utmost best to support you.

The sling library is for parents and carers of babies, toddlers and preschoolers. You can also come if you are still expecting your baby and try some slings on with a demo doll/learn to belly wrap your pregnant belly if you fancy trying this out.

The sling library is inclusive and non-judgemental; we welcome all families and we don’t care if you haven’t been able to wash your hair in days!

• Jazz will show you how to use your sling or the library’s sling by demoing, guiding you or putting buckle carriers on you (to speed things up) and then showing you how to use the carrier you want to hire. Each person learns differently, so she will adapt to you.
• You can either use your own baby (best to check the fit of buckle carriers) or a demo doll if you prefer or if that’s easier (or if it’s safer within the time frame, especially with back carries or babies who don’t fancy going in the sling on the day, it happens!).
• You will go over safety aspects and receive a safety leaflet (it will also be emailed).
• If you run out of time and you need a bit more help, another consultant/peer supporter might be able to offer you extra time if possible on the day (we can’t make guarantees).
• So as to accommodate everybody on the day and reduce waiting times, you may be paired up with 1 or 2 other parents coming to learn the same skill.
• You can hire a sling/s on the day.
• You can hire any sling for as long as you want, see fees and hire length below.
• Feel free to hang out if you need to feed/change your baby/chat with other parents. It is a breastfeeding friendly space.

• After the sling library, Jazz will email you links to video tutorials and sling safety.
• You can send her pictures on Whatsapp if you have any concerns or questions.
• You will be reminded via email to return your sling 3 days before the due date and you can choose to return the sling either at the next sling library session or by post (postal instruction will be given), or to renew the sling hire.

• £20 for a 20 mins session including a 2 weeks’ hire of a sling or 4 weeks for stretchy wraps and Close Caboo
• £20 for a consultation to learn some new skills with your own sling
• £8 for an additional sling hire for 2 weeks

Hire without a consultation and also hire extension fees are; £8 per week or £20 for 1 month or £15 per month with a minimum of 2 months hire - then £15 monthly rolling. Additional slings are charged at £8 per sling per hire period max 1 month. Stretchy wraps and Close Caboo are £8 per month flat rate

The charges cover the cost of the room hire, cost of slings, boring admin stuff like insurance and IT, washing of the slings and other expenses.

Slings experience wear and tear, therefore we regularly update our stock. If you would like to donate to the Camden Sling Library to support renewing our slings then please follow this link - thank you so much, we couldn’t do this without your generosity.

Jazz looks forward to meeting you all and supporting you on your babywearing journey!

The sessions are monthly:

• 10.30am to 4pm on Monday 24th November 2025
• 10.30am to 4pm on Monday 15th December 2025

We don’t believe in booking systems because every family and situation is unique, so please get in touch using the form below and tell us how we can help you. Jazz will get back to you ASAP (she has 3 small children so please be patient!).
