Tummy To Tummy/Snuggle Carry

Great for all ages. Baby sits in an upright position belly to belly with legs under her bum inside pouch. For older babies their legs can hang out of the bottom of the sling

• Decide which shoulder you would like the rings on and put your sling on using the directions above.
• Tighten your sling so that there is about 4-6 in. between you and the pouch of the sling if you push the top side fabric away from you. This gives you enough space to slide baby in.
• Now you have a choice. You can slide baby in from the top or the bottom of the sling.
• If you want to slide baby in from the top you place your baby high up on your shoulder opposite of the rings, curl her feet up under her like a frog or leave her legs straight, and slide her into the sling.
• If you do not want your baby in a froggy position, pull her legs through. Just make sure that you have the bottom edge of the sling pulled down around her bottom and up to the back of her knee.

• The sling can be pulled over baby’s head, or just to the neck. Older babies can have their arms tucked in or out.

• To put baby in sling from the bottom, sit down and hold your baby facing you.
• Grab the entire pouch of the sling and pull it over your baby’s head and down under her bottom all the way to the back of her knee.

• Tighten to where you feel comfortable and baby is secure. I tighten my sling by supporting the weight of my baby with the hand opposite of the rings and tighten the tail with the hand that has the rings on it. Supporting your baby’s weight with the hand opposite of the rings while you tighten your tail will make it easier to adjust.

• If you need the bottom tighter find the bottom edge or rail and pull that part of the tail. If you need the top rail tighter find the top edge and pull that part of the tail. Remember to support your baby’s weight while you do this.

• Make sure the rings are at your collar bone, like where you would wear a corsage or slightly below.

• If after you’ve tightened your sling the rings are too low or too high, and they feel uncomfortable, take off the sling and start again, but this time place the rings slightly higher on your shoulder so that after you have baby in and you’ve tightened the sling, the rings should hit you at your collar bone or slightly below.
• Tighten to what is comfortable.
• Leave the tail hanging or tuck anywhere you like.
