Nursing and sleeping in Cradle Hold
(Newborn to Toddler)
Begin by holding your baby on the opposite shoulder from the rings as though you
are burping her. Small babies can be placed into the pouch area as for the regular
cradle hold previously shown. Larger babies or toddlers will be placed into the pouch
with their legs free of the pouch, ensuring that the inside pouch edge is tightened
around their bottoms or the backs of their legs (depending on the size of the baby).
See pictures below showing newborn and a 3 year old in this position. Note the way
the older child’s legs are hanging out of the sling; it would be the same for a longer
baby.
