child. (A slip knot will allow you

The fabric should be tight
across your back and will be
twisted once due to folding the
fabric across your shoulder.
Baby can choose to keep his
arms in or out. Keep your baby
high on your hip and tight up
close to you for efficient weight
distribution and maximum
comfort.
Make sure the two bands remain crossed over the baby’s back. If the
baby should arch backwards, be sure to support him with your hand
as he risks forcing the bands open.
7.
Resting baby on your free
shoulder, reach up under the
front band and pull his leg
through the band.
11.
Check that fabric is spread
out to the knees of your baby to
fully support his base.
