Sling Library In Manchester

The Parenting Collective is a diverse, open and welcoming group of experienced women looking to provide parenting support in Manchester, as well as guidance for new parents/carers and new families as they make their way through the first steps of parenting and beyond! We were founded by three friends, all new mothers themselves, who found that the support they needed when they had children just wasn't there. There was no one to talk to, nobody to understand what they were going through, nowhere they could go to meet peers in the same situation as them. Not anymore! The team has since adapted and grown to meet the needs of their local communities. The Sling Library is here for you, helping you navigate birth and grow in confidence as you welcome your little one into the world.

What is the Sling Library?

The sling library in Manchester is comprised of a whole host of different babywearing slings. We offer sling-wearing support, delivered by certified babywearing consultants and peer supporters. You can come with your own sling, if you're just after babywearing advice and support, or we can show you how to use one of our slings, with the option to hire it for a time at the end.
