Babywearing ireland

Parent-and-toddler

Babywearing Ireland's Blanchardstown Sling Meet offers parents and carers of babies and toddlers up to age 3 a chance to get peer support with babywearing, facilitated by experienced volunteer baby wearers. The informal setting is designed for parents to share what's worked for them, rather than to give professional advice. Attendees can also use the group's sling library, borrowing a stretchy wrap, woven wrap, ring sling, mei tai or soft structured carrier for a small fee to try at home for a month. For those who can't get to a meet, the national library delivers slings by courier. Meets in Blanchardstown are usually held monthly; follow Babywearing Ireland on social media for the next date.
