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.

Who is it for?

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!

What happens during your appointment?

  • 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.

What happens after the sling library?

  • 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. The fees are £5/month for stretchy wraps and Close Caboos. For all other types of slings: £5/week, £15 for 1 month or £10/month with a minimum 2 months' hire.

How much is it?

  • £20 for a 20 mins slot including a 4 weeks' hire of a sling or 2 months for stretchy wraps and Close Caboos
  • £15 for a 20mins slot to learn to use your own sling
  • £10 for an additional sling hire for 4 weeks
  • There is also the opportunity to hire a sling without having a 1-2-1 consultation.

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.

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

The Acupuncture Collective resumes, after the holiday hiatus, this Monday (16th September), with Sophie and Dr Sunila excited to welcome you back for the Late Summer Rebalance. Acupuncture treatments can be particularly poignant at the change of seasons when nature’s energies are shifting and impact on our own internal balance. In Five Element Acupuncture, it's believed that we all have one Element — Earth, Metal, Water, Wood or Fire, that becomes more easily unbalanced. If we are able to strengthen and nourish that Element, we, as a whole, feel more balanced and energised. Each Element has an associated season, emotion, pair of organs and a set of physical and emotional issues that tend to arise more easily. This enigmatic Late Summer harvest time belongs to the Earth Element and it’s said that people who fit with this Element's patterns have great empathy, are peacemakers and like to feed humanity. However, when out of balance they can give too much and be prone to worry and overthinking. The associated organs are the Spleen and Stomach, so the digestion of nutrients is a key focus, and how your body transforms and transports nutrition becomes the concern of the acupuncturist. Sophie and Sunila often treat digestive issues, lethargy and worry and self-doubt. So, however you’re feeling as Summer fades, we’d love to see you and help bring more balance to your beautiful being and set you up for a wonderful next seasonal chapter. We still have a few spaces left (see final image) at this Monday's Acupuncture Collective, so follow the link in our bio to book your session. #acupuncture #fiveelements #fiveelementacupuncture #latesummer
