The sling can be worn on either shoulder. The pictures shown demonstrate
wearing on the right hand shoulder as I am right-handed, if you are left handed
try wearing the sling on your left shoulder when trying it for the first time as you
may find it easier. To put the sling on hold the rings in your right hand and put
your left arm through the loop of the sling as though putting on a sash.
When correctly worn the fabric of the sling
should naturally cup the shoulder without
causing any restriction of movement. The
important thing about the positioning of the
rings is that they should feel comfortable. Some
like the rings high on the shoulder whilst others
like me wear them lower, it is purely a matter of
preference and what feels comfortable for you
the wearer. Where the rings sit can also change
according to the age and carry position of the
baby or toddler you are carrying.
Handy Tip: don’t worry about this at the
beginning as you will soon find it all comes
naturally.
You have now formed the pouch into
which you will place your baby or
toddler.
Notice that the inside edge of the sling
sits naturally under the bust against
and your body.
