CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Care & Safety Instructions – The Birth Sling
Thank you for hiring The Birth Sling through Bloom Birth Collective. To ensure your comfort, safety, and the longevity of this item, please follow the care and usage guidelines below.
Before Use
- Inspect the sling for any signs of wear, fraying, or damage.
- Ensure it is securely anchored before putting any weight on it.
- Always use with the assistance or supervision of your birth support team (midwife, doula, or partner).
During Labour
- The sling is designed to support upright and active birthing positions.
- Use for leaning, swaying, or supported squatting – never for climbing, swinging, or full suspension.
- Only one person should use the sling at a time. If you feel any discomfort, stop use immediately.
Cleaning & Care
- Do not machine wash.
- Spot clean with warm soapy water and allow to air dry completely.
- Do not bleach, tumble dry, or iron.
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
After Use
- Please return the sling clean, dry, and in the provided storage bag.
- If the sling has been soiled or damaged, let us know so we can arrange professional cleaning or repair.
Important Notes
- The Birth Sling is not a medical device. It is a comfort and support tool designed to assist with movement and positioning during labour.
- Always follow the guidance of your midwife or healthcare provider.
- Use at your own risk. Bloom Birth Collective accepts no liability for misuse.
WHAT'S INCLUDED
- Main Body Sling: The heart of The Birth Sling, this specially designed main body sling provides optimal support, allowing mothers to embrace natural and comfortable birthing positions.
- Arm Slings (2x): Offering additional support and comfort, the arm slings enhance the overall experience, ensuring a secure and stable grip for the birthing mother.
- Door Anchor: Achieve hassle-free installation over almost any door with the included door anchor. This feature ensures convenience and adaptability, making The Birth Sling accessible in various settings.
- Beam or Branch Anchor: For those preferring a more natural setting, the beam or branch anchor lets you suspend The Birth Sling from sturdy overhead structures, fostering a connection with nature during the birthing process.
- Carry Bag: Designed for portability and convenience, the carry bag makes it easy to transport The Birth Sling, allowing mothers to bring this empowering tool wherever they choose to give birth.
- Labour Position Cards: Create a birth space that supports your instincts. Our Labour Position Cards are a beautifully designed printable resource to guide and inspire movement during labour. Each card features a different labour position — including those supported by The Birth Sling — with gentle prompts, benefits, and visuals to support physiological birth and optimal fetal positioning. Simply download, print, and place the 20 labour position cards around your birth space — at home or in hospital. They can serve as reminders for both you and your birth team to encourage movement, comfort, rest and flow during labour.
Note: Cards will be emailed to you once your hire purchase has been completed.
