Mel and the Wrap a Hug Sling Library are amazing. She made me feel so good and supported as a first time Mum figuring out slings and wishing to be close to my baby. Each time I have seen Mel she gave amazing advice, guidance and reassurance. She also provides so much free content on her Instagram and FB, I’m constantly referring back to her videos and tips on my babywearing journey. Her help has made me feel safe and confident carrying. If you are a new mum I highly recommend getting a consultation and hiring some slings from before buying a sling. I recommend her to everyone I know in East London and will continue to do so!

Mel is very helpful and knowledgeable – always prioritising safety over sales, which is definitely the kind of person you want to talk to when working out how to carry your child. She helped me to use the pre-loved stretchy wrap I’d been given with my newborn, she helped my husband find and buy a buckle carrier that suited him (and still does now that newborn is a toddler), and she rented me various woven wraps when I was ready to start carrying my baby that way. I attended her workshops on back carrying, rented wraps of different weights when we travelled to very different climates, and felt very supported with her ongoing help as I learnt new ways to carry as my baby grew. Definitely someone to consult if you’re interested in carrying your child at all, at whatever age, no matter your style.

Mel was super knowledgeable, knows what new mums need and really helped me get everyday-confident with my sling. So helpful to get in person advice and tweak my technique to get a solid fit every time I sling my baby so he is reliably safe and comfortable. Loved learning how to safely feed in a sling and use the technique every few days at least! Thanks!!
