1. Fold sling and put on with padding on the outside. Line the seam up with the midline of your body.

2. Hold baby high up on your chest, her back to your front, slightly facing sideways (away from the pouch shoulder).

3. Find the pouch opening. Cross baby’s legs and put them on the top of baby’s body. Grab the pouch rail.

4. Lower baby’s bottom into the sling. The seam should be in front of baby.

5. Baby’s weight should be tipped toward you and resting back against your body.

6. Check to make sure baby’s bottom and legs are between fabric layers and let go. Baby’s arms can be in or out.
