What is a Sling Meet?

The aim of Sling Meets is to promote, practice and teach about the art of babywearing - quite simply using a cloth baby sling or carrier to carry your baby or child. You can find lots of reasons for and benefits of babywearing in the 'Articles and Resources' section.

The meetings will be a relatively informal with a mix of teaching and chat and will hopefully evolve over time to meet everyone's needs. There will be experienced babywearers on hand to give demonstrations how to use a particular sling/carrier as well as share their own experiences and troubleshoot any problems people might have with their sling.

Welcome to Hereford Sling Meet!

Well here we are! Finally we have a venue and a time so let the monthly meetings begin! Our venue is the Parenting Room in the Green Croft Centre, Redhill (next to Marlbrook Primary School). Meetings will be (at least for the next few months) on the 2nd Monday of each month 10am-12pm. Our first proper meeting will be 11th February. Check out the Herefordshire forum of Sling Meet for more information - come and introduce yourself before you come along.

Everyone is welcome. If you have never used a sling, have a sling that you are having problems with, would like to try a particular type of sling, want help with a specific carrying position, are an experienced sling user and want to help others or just want to learn about babywearing and have a cuppa and chat....we would love to see you!
