The Hip Carry

Also great for older babies and toddlers. I’ve even held my 5 year old in the sling this way! This is just like the tummy to tummy hold, but instead of your baby being on your front he is on your hip.
  • Start with the rings slightly higher than your collar bone.
  • Follow the instructions for the tummy to tummy hold.
  • You can put your baby in the sling feet first.

  • Or you can put your baby in the sling head first.

  • Either way, please make sure to pull the fabric around your baby's bottom and then up to the back of his knees.

  • Rotate your baby/toddler to your hip.
  • The sling can be pulled up to his armpits or up over his shoulders.

  • Arms can be in or out.
  • Leave tail hanging or tuck it in anywhere you like.
