‘Seeds to Saplings’ was founded by Rebecca and Manda after the closure of the volunteer-led NCT Sling Library they had been running until early 2023. As Manda and Rebecca are both qualified carrying consultants in their own right, they decided to team up to continue offering carrying and babywearing support not only through establishing a new library of slings available to try or hire but now to also offer experienced support with slings parents already own, a range of new and preloved slings and carriers for purchase, plus bookable one-to-one babywearing consultations for more in-depth support.

Between them Rebecca and Manda have a wide range of expertise in pregnancy, birth, and all things tiny-human. From qualifications in yoga, hypnobirthing and baby massage through to breastfeeding, birth doulaing and perinatal mental health they plan to grow Seeds to Saplings from a sling library and babywearing group into a broader community and support hub with a range of services and workshops for new and expectant parents.
