The Village Midwife Sling and Nappy Library

Welcome to The Village Midwife Sling & Nappy Library, where you can get support/advice about using slings & carriers as well as hire a sling or set of cloth nappies

How it works:

1. Book onto a sling library meet here

2. When you come along, you can:

  • Get help with your own sling or carrier

  • Try one or some of our slings/carriers after discussing what you need with us - like a matchmaking service but for slings!

3. You can hire slings/carriers by using one of the links below and finding the specific sling you’ve borrowed (you can also browse which slings we have, but we don’t have all of them at every meet because most of them live at HQ in Wendover!)

3. If you’ve had a fit check or support with your own sling or carrier, you can also pay for this here

5. Then you return your sling to one of our meets (or drop it back to me at HQ or post it back if easier)

Please be aware that you’ll probably have 5-10 minutes with one of us for support at a group sling clinic, as we generally see 10-15 people per meet. If you want more support than this, you can book a 1-1 session for sling support with Sophie here

Any questions? Drop us a message using our contact form and one of us will get back to you as soon as possible!

  • If you want to borrow a sling or a set of cloth nappies - you can come along to one of the meets where one of our volunteers can show you some options. They will talk through how they work and can help you with your own slings or show you options that you can hire from us. Please note that the sling library is not for profit and is volunteer run so when these meets are busy you may not get much time to go through options! The meets vary with how busy they are and this is often unpredictable but we want to keep them free/donations only so that they are accessible to all.

  • Meets are currently in:

    • Wendover, Bucks

    • High Wycombe, Bucks

  • Book your space on a meet via the links below! This allows us to contact you if a session is cancelled for whatever reason - or if there are specific access/parking requirements
