Help and support with babywearing

Between all the Sheffield Babywearers we have carried every age of child in every type of sling, sometimes two at a time! We regularly put our heads together and pool our knowledge about particular topics, and the results are here.

We all have favourite videos and instructions showing how to use slings, and we like to share them with other babywearers. Please note, however, that Sheffield Babywearers is not responsible for the content of external sites, nor for anything that happens if you follow the instructions incorrectly!

Online help is no substitute for face-to-face help - to get the best advice, come to one of our Sheffield sling meets.
