South London Sling Library WORKSHOP – Back Carries

A carrying workshop run by our experienced and knowledgeable babywearing consultant Emily.

This workshop is suitable for babies who are aged 6 months or sitting unaided.

When and Where: Wednesday 12:30 – 2:30 on advertised dates; these sessions will not run during school holidays; check our Calendar for dates. The venue is at 194 Beckenham Road, BR3 4RJ; see our main website www.southlondonslings.co.uk for travel and venue information.

Suitable for: Babies who are aged 6 months or who are sitting unaided. Whilst we are happy to help parents who have never carried before, prior experience of using a sling or carrier on your front or hip may be an advantage. What we’ll cover: This workshop will introduce you to the principles of safe, comfortable back carrying using Soft Structured Carriers and Mei Tais. If there is time we may also briefly look at woven wraps. You’ll find out how to safely get your baby onto your back, practicing with a weighted doll first, and get personalised tips for a safe, comfortable carry. You’ll try out at least two types of carrier using your baby and/or a weighted doll, and get the chance to ask questions and find out about other carrying options too!

At the end of the session you will have the chance to hire or buy slings and carriers from us and will benefit from a special workshop discount on all product purchases made on the day.
