About The Sling Doctor
Babywearing for Everyone
When I became a mum, I discovered quickly that my little daughter only ever wanted to be carried. Starting as a complete beginner, the world of babywearing felt intimidating and we ended up using uncomfortable and even at times unsafe carriers, because I didn’t know any better, despite being a qualified doctor.
But carrying your baby doesn’t need to be difficult, expensive or scary- it’s the most natural thing in the world, proven to have numerous benefits for babies and their caregivers- from bonding to development, to giving you your hands back and helping make life a bit more manageable.
Babywearing has been such a lovely journey for us and I want to share that experience, using my background as an A&E doctor in the NHS to ensure a safe and anatomically correct fit for you and your baby. Problem solving is what I do, both as a doctor and a mum, and I love tackling the challenges that can come up for babywearing caregivers.
So pop by, we’ll have a cup of tea and you and your little one can relax while we find the best solution for you both to give you comfort and confidence.
My services & products
I offer hour long one-to-one babywearing consultations in which you can access support getting a better fit with carriers or wraps you already own, and/or you can try a selection from my stock of beautiful carriers and wraps. I can also teach you new wrapping techniques to unlock the versatility of your sling/wrap.
A 2-week hire is included in the price of your consultation. You can then choose to return it, keep renting at £10/week, or buy a preloved or new carrier through me.
I stock Tula, Mamaruga, Lenny Lamb, Ergobaby, BabyBjorn, Didymos, Minimonkey, Integra, Girasol and more. I also stock a small range of preloved babywearing coats and accessories to buy.
