Sling Clinic and Library; North London

Sling Clinic and Library; North London Sling or Carrier Advice and Library Service. Monthly library session:
CLOSED This page was started by the library sponsor and founder Azizah Attard.

It is to help parents new to baby wearing find a library session and location that best suits them, their baby and their busy schedule. The library was founded in October 2015 with the sole purpose of allowing parents to try carriers before a parent decides which carrier best suits their needs. The small library has been set up as a Non-profit Community Interest Company (CIC), with a commitment to

the local community and the intention to grow into a viable educational source for parents. Azizah Attard is a babywearing consultant with Slingababy, Die Trageschule and the School of Babywearing UK. She is a Born to Carry Peer Supporter Trainer and runs courses regularly in North London. She is passionate about safe baby wearing and the positive effects baby wearing can have on both parent/carer and baby. Azizah is also the UK Partner to Bebe Sachi. A social enterprise dedicated to the preservation of the traditional hand loom and hand weaving legacy of Bangladesh. They produce hand woven wraps, Mei Tais and accessories. Azizah also owns another, non profit CIC sling library in Northampton. The Bebe Sachi project is not formally associated with the Sling Clinic and Library or Northampton Library but has donated pieces to the library. Our recommended BW consultants and volunteers:

We don’t usually post a lot because we are soooooo busy. However I’ve had quite a few missed appointments recently with no communication.
If you can no longer make it and know in advance we can potentially move you to another day, and open up for those on the waiting list for that day.
I am looking for VOLUNTEERS to help me so I can see more people if you’re interested do contact us.

If your in the area see our friends at East London Sling Library

Hello families. We understand that this is a worrying time, especially for the many people with newborns who come to see us each month. We have decided to cancel the library for the next couple of months in the interests of the people we do this for - our clients.

We will review the situation in June. Until then, all hires will be extended at no additional cost to you. However, if you would like to return a carrier or sling, please DM this page and we will let you know how you can do that. Please do not take them to Spark/99 as we won't be there!

In the meantime, if you need advice or want us to check how you are using your carrier, we will do our best to help you via DM. Send us a message with info on what you are using and what your concern is along with a few pictures and/or video and we will see what we can do! This will not be an immediate service (all of our volunteers have daytime commitments and some of us work in the healthcare sector and are a bit busy right now...) but we will do our best to respond as soon as possible.

Good evening!

*UPDATE* to all the lovely mamas and papas and careers planning on coming to tomorrow’s session:
Don’t worry, we’ll still be there, however the session will run from 10:30-12:30 (instead of 1:30) because we are short on volunteers.
We only have 2 of our lovely ladies in tomorrow, so do bear with it if it gets a bit busy. We recommend coming early if possible.

On a side note if you are interested in becoming a volunteer do let us know.

We look forward to seeing you tomorrow 🙂

A sneak peak of some new slings that we will have today! Brave the weather to come along and see us at Spark 99 on Myddleton Road from 10:30am-1:30pm. All the usual help and advice and maybe even some hot drinks on this chilly day!

Lots of people walk in with baby in a pram and walk out with them snuggled in a carrier or wrap - it's a lovely way to get around with a little one in chilly or windy weather. Drop in for advice on your own sling (please bring it with you) or to try out or hire something from us - or even just to find out what this whole 'babywearing' thing is about!
