How does a visit to the Wirral Sling Library work?

On arrival at the session, one of our team will tick you off on our list, and check if you are registered for our hire system, if applicable. Please do this before we start trying on slings if you possibly can!

You may be seen straight away or there may be a short wait, we try to keep these to a minimum but we my be helping other parents with different needs.

You will be seen by either a Consultant or a Peer Supporter. Both are trained to help you with a variety types of slings, either from the Library or your own. You may be seen individually or in small groups, depending on your needs. Once slings have been demonstrated you will be able to practice with one of our demonstration dolls, and with your own child. We will make sure that you are both safe and comfortable.

If you wish to hire a sling, one of our team will process this for you. They can also remind you of how to contact us between session, and answer most of the nagging questions that may have popped in to your mind!
