Customer Testimonials
SOME GLOWING FEEDBACK - THANK YOU!

I had a consultation with Emma about wrapping with a sling and using a carrier. I brought my own sling and carrier, and she explained everything patiently and clearly. First, she showed me the techniques with a demo doll, and then I practiced myself. Everything was easy to understand, and she also sent me videos and photos afterwards, so I can go back to them anytime. Now I feel much more confident carrying my baby safely – both for my baby’s back and for mine. Thank you!

More about me:
I'm Emma your local go-to 'Sling Guru'

And I love supporting local parents with all things carrying

I'm a fully trained/qualified and insured Babywearing Consultant with a sling library based in Hastings. (You can always ask to see my certifications.) I regularly work with families both locally and living in East Sussex towns -offering studio sessions and Home visits, to help them carry their little one(s), not only safely, but comfortably too. Seeking professional support can be so valuable, you'll always see my passion come through, as well as knowledge: whether you’d like to hire a sling from the library, so you can try before you buy your carrier (highly recommended as they can be quite the investment), or book a 1-to-1 fit-check session (as small tweaks really can make the world of difference!), you can also have a more in-depth consultation to learn a new skill(s) or combine a few things . Areas I cover for home visits include, but are not limited to: Fairlight, Pett Icklesham, Winchelsea, Rye,  St Leonards-on-sea, Bexhill, Battle, Crowborough, Eastbourne and even Polegate.   My appointment types can be tailored to suit your exact needs. My sling library has wraps, ring slings, half buckles, buckle carriers and more (and while I do have well-known brands available, I support many consultant-engaged brands, that are likely less on your radar). (Although there are some carriers I'd actively avoid) The best sling from brands that are loved by the babywearing community, will be the one that fits baby safely and you're both comfy in, plus you can use by yourself with ease. Since becoming a Mum and then a Babywearing Consultant I've tried a a big range carriers and seen lots on different people - so understand what works for different body types/ why; if you're not loving something and can pinpoint why I will be able to suggest a range of different slings that have features that will counteract the issue, and hopefully you'lll enjoy more! Only 4 years ago I was a new parent, and very new to babywearing. I struggled with it, until someone suggested seeking support / moving on from a stretchy wrap to a woven, which I loved the idea of. And after loving what I learnt, and what a key part wrapping had in my parenting journey, I soon wanted to help others. So I later decided to train with Slingababy and Carrying Matters (and since continually involve myself with CPD sessions) to ensure my knowledge is kept up to date,  and to be able to offer parents support safely. Soon after training I set up Little One Snug (Sling Library and Consultancy) and started off doing small local pop-ups to build word-of-mouth / trust in the community - and will forever be thankful to the local businesses who helped me on my way – Tots Play Bexhill, Breastmates. Glow Baby, Spun Glass Theatre, Wise Mamas,  Expectant Escapes, Moat Breastfeeding Support, and Latched on Eastbourne. Since my helping my first customers, I’ve kept going and growing, to the point where I'm now seeing a number of parents each week - which I'm super proud of!​​​! And the rest as they say is history!

Quick F.A.Qs

Which areas do you cover? Essentially anywhere within 1hr drive radius of TN35 5NG!

Do you sell slings... I mainly hire out from my library and can then point you to long-standing retailers that I also know and trust often with discount codes. While I do sell a few items, it does depend on the brand, I am able to dropship Lenny Lamb, Mamaruga and Neko, have an affiliate code for Izmi, and occasionally I'll do a library clear out. If you are after something quite specific or at a certain price point I can always ask out among my consultant network to see if anyone is moving something along too. My inclusive hiring period (a standard one week with Full Consults) tends to have enough overlap for you to purchase your own, but I've made extending hire quite affordable too! To learn more about hires, select this page from the menu!

What does a consultation include? - Wrap around support from the first email - I'll always answer any questions, provide initial thoughts, suggest what I think might work and why (depending on the info on your contact form of course) – Sessions are always hands off baby unless I have permission, or want from you otherwise, and any guidance given is always super gentle. _ A session can include anything you want it to! Whether that be learning how to back-carry, pop your newborn into a stretchy wrap, feeding in the carrier, exploring different slings before buying something new and so on! – We can always get creative solutions if needed! - Post session so you're not struggling to remember every detail I'll provide recap tutorial reference videos too – I'll always check in post session too with opportunity for free photo fitcheck – You'll always get a completely tailored service – And support that is friendly, as well as judgement free – You'll always get my passion! I want to help you achieve your goals - even if after session you change your mind on a sling at the time you loved!
