Portsmouth Sling meets have sadly come to an abrupt end, as the Surestart centre has decided we can no longer meet there. While I have loved running the group and helping everyone for the last 3 years I shall take this opportunity to concentrate more on my family.
I am still happy to try and give advice via email, as much as I can. The closest sling meet is in Southampton, Southampton Sling Meet, they have an amazing extensive sling library and it’s in a great venue. It’s easy to get to on the train being only a 15min walk from Bursledon station. There is also a sling meet on the Isle of Wight, Isle of Wight Sling Meet, if you fancy a day out to try out slings. You can check out the Sling meet site for details of other meets in Hampshire.
To find help online then www.slingguide.co.uk is a great site with lots of information about choosing and using slings. There are forums for slings users where you can read reviews, talk to experienced sling users, ask questions about slings, and buy used slings if you want a cheaper option. Natural Mamas is a UK based forum and The Babywearer which is an American based forum.
I shall leave the Babywearing Portsmouth & Southsea facebook group running in case anyone wants to use it to arrange meets with other local sling users.
Thank you to everyone who came to the group and has made it a special experience for me.
