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.

If you have any questions, please email admin@thevillagemidwife.co.uk

  • 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

    • Chesham, Bucks

    • Beaconsfield, Bucks

    • Ruislip, Middlesex

    • Ickenham, Middlesex

Upcoming TVM Sling Library Meets

You can book your space at a meet via the links below as this also enables us to contact you if the meet is cancelled for any reason or there is a time change! If you want to go over lots of information about types of slings or are new to Babywearing - we recommend you attend a 2 hour workshop (which are very relaxed and baby friendly!) or have a 1:1 session
