Booking a 1:1 babywearing consultation can be a game-changer for parents navigating the world of slings and carriers. Whether you’re new to babywearing or feeling unsure about your current carrier, a personalised session offers practical guidance, confidence, and long-term savings.
Save Money Before Buying
Before deciding that your baby “isn’t a sling baby,” a carrier fitting walkthrough can make a huge difference. During a consultation:
You may find your current carrier feels more secure
Baby may seem calmer and more settled
You can explore alternative carriers if your current one isn’t quite right too
Trying different carriers with expert guidance can save money by preventing the frustration of buying multiple options that aren’t suitable.
Tailored Support from a Trained Expert
A 1:1 babywearing consultation provides personalised support from someone trained and insured, with experience in a variety of carriers and styles. You’ll receive advice tailored to your baby’s size, your lifestyle, and environment.
Learn a Valuable Skill
Babywearing is a skill, and a private consultation can help you to:
Master safe positioning and tightening techniques
Understand how your carrier should feel and look when fitted correctly
Gain confidence to replicate the correct fit at home
Learning such skills early will empower you to be more hands-free and focus on other aspects of parenting.
Continued Support After Your Appointment
You won’t be left on your own after your session. Many of my parent customers appreciate:
Free photo fitchecks post-appointment
Advice and reassurance if you’re unsure

Why a 1:1 Consultation is Worth It
A babywearing consultation is more than just help with a sling —it’s an investment in your confidence, your baby’s comfort, and your overall parenting journey. With expert guidance, tailored tips, and continued support, you’ll get the most out of your carrier while keeping your little one safe and happy.
