Hi, I'm Emma your
local go-to 'Sling Lady'

I can support you with anything
babywearing related

I'm a fully trained/qualified and insured babywearing consultant, running a sling library in Hastings. I support both local and families living across East Sussex, and can help you to discover the joy of carrying your little one(s), not only safely, but comfortably too. Whether you’d like to hire a sling from the library, so you can try before you buy your carrier (highly recommended), or book a 1-to-1 fit-check session (believe me small tweaks really can make the world of difference!) Or have a more in-depth consultation to learn a new skill(s) or combine a few things then it would be my pleasure to support you - sharing my passion and knowledge! Babywearing Support can be at my home studio (most budget) and I can also travel to you for home visits and cover surrounding towns in East Sussex. (Towns include, but are not limited to: Fairlight, Icklesham, Winchelsea, Rye,  St Leonards-on-sea, Bexhill, Battle, Crowborough, Eastbourne and even Polegate).   My appointment types can be tailored to suit your exact needs. I think hiring a sling is super useful - as individual preferences, due to a range of factors, really can vary. (Although there are some carriers I'd actively avoid) The best sling from brands that do come recommended, will be the one that fits baby safely, you're both comfy in, and you can use by yourself with ease. My sling library in Hastings includes wraps, ring slings, half buckles, buckle carriers and more (and while I do have well-known brands available, I support many consultant-engaged brands, that are likely less on your radar). Carriers are available to borrow for a maximum of 4 weeks. Since becoming a Mum and then Consultant I've tried a a big range carriers and understand what works for different body types/ why, so if you're not loving something I will be able to suggest a range of different slings that have features which will benefit you more. Not so long ago I was a new parent, and very new to babywearing. I struggled with it, until someone suggested seeking support / moving on from a stretchy wrap to a woven, which I loved the idea of. And after loving what I learnt, and what a key part wrapping had in my parenting journey, I soon wanted to help others. So I later decided to train with Slingababy and Carrying Matters (and continually involve myself with CPD sessions) to ensure my knowledge is kept up to date,  and offer parents support in a safe way. Soon after training I set up Little One Snug and started with pop-ups to build word-of-mouth / trust in the community - and will forever be thankful to the local businesses who helped me on my way Tots Play Bexhill, Breastmates. Glow Baby, Spun Glass Theatre, Wise Mamas,  Expectant Escapes, Moat Breastfeeding Support, Latched on Eastbourne. Since my helping my first customers, I’ve kept going and growing, to the point where I'm now seeing a number of parents each week - which I'm super proud of!​​​!

Services F.A.Qs

Which areas do you cover? I support families in Hastings, St Leonards, Bexhill, Battle, Crowborough, or towards Rye, Hailsham, Eastbourne and even Polegate (essentially anywhere within 1hr drive radius!) across East Sussex with consultations and sling hire.

Do you sell slings... I mainly hire out from my library and point you where to buy using retailers I know and trust - I do sell a few items, but it does depend on the brand, I dropship Lenny Lamb, and have an affiliate code for Izmi, and occasionally I'll do a library clear out. I often can give discount codes too - or can ask among my consultant network to see if anyone is moving something along if you're after a particular carrier preloved. My hiring period (standard one week) tends to have enough overlap for you to purchase your own, and extending hire is quite affordable too! To learn more about hires, hit the button to view my services!

What does a consultation include? I do ask for a deposit on booking (non-refundable but you can reschedule up to 2x 48hrs ahead, any less notice I just review on case-by-case basis) Once those formalities are out of the way I'm really easy-going and flexible – we'll be able to go at yours and baby's pace, and I can support you with your current sling(s) or something entirely different such as learning a new skill, or we can work together to find a carrier that's the right fit for you and your family. I offer different session types to suit a range of budgets - hit the services button for more info!

Do you offer online consultations? I do find that in-person-support where possible easiest. But if I'm a distance and I feel I can support you over camera then I'd be very happy to do an online session.

Try on & hire slings
from the library

discover what works for you

As well as supporting you with an existing sling, you can also hire slings from my library at various price points, with carriers suitable for a wide range of body shapes and sizes. While I stock well-known brands, I champion smaller, consultant-led sling makers too who prioritise ethical production and thoughtful design, that support confident, long-term babywearing.

CUSTOMER TESTIMONIALS

I had a consultation with Emma about wrapping with a sling and using a carrier. I brought my own sling and carrier, and she explained everything patiently and clearly. First, she showed me the techniques with a demo doll, and then I practiced myself. Everything was easy to understand, and she also sent me videos and photos afterwards, so I can go back to them anytime. Now I feel much more confident carrying my baby safely – both for my baby’s back and for mine. Thank you!
