Putting On Your Sling

Getting use to the sling takes a little bit of time. You and your baby have to get used to it. Just keep trying!
  • Decide which shoulder you would like the rings to be on.
  • Slide the threaded sling, tail facing away from you, over your head and the arm opposite of where the rings will be. (Ex. If you want your rings on your right shoulder, your head and left arm will go in.)
  • Make sure your sling is not twisted or bunched up. It will not be comfortable if it is.
  • Make sure the fabric is spread out across your back.
  • Once your baby is in and you’ve tightened your sling, the rings should be at your collar bone or slightly below if that is more comfortable. I like mine slightly below. This is true for all the carries.
  • When you are practicing make sure your baby is fed, awake, and happy.
