How do I wear this?
|
|
Step One Grasp Baby Holder with rings at front and tail hanging down.
|
|
|
Step Two Pass over head and rest shoulder pad on shoulder; sling portion will be under opposite arm.
Rings are at front (positioned approximately where you would pin a corsage) with the tail hanging down.
Rings must be kept in this position at all times or the baby holder will not open properly.
You should pull any slack fabric from behind your back. Do not slide the pad off your shoulder.
You can wear your baby holder on either shoulder.
|
|
Step Three To place baby in horizontal position, to sleep or nurse, loosen tail to make plenty of room in the "sack"
where the baby lies. Make sure rings stay high on chest. Turn channel of batting that is closest to parent's tummy up against tummy. Stretch sack out evenly
in front horizontally, by pulling out on both rolls of padding at the same time with both hands.
Position the baby's head away from rings. As baby grows, feet can hang out. Pull material up for discreet nursing, or to shade baby's eyes from sun or cold wind.

|
| Incline Position
To incline tiny newborn for better head support, tighten tail up
to make sack smaller. Turn inner channel of batting up high against your chest, tucking excess fabric behind your back.
Pull sack open straght out in front of you. Lie baby on back with head toward rings. |
Facing Out Position
To sit baby facing forward, tighten tail to about medium, depending on size of baby. Turn inner channel of batting
up against your tummy, pull sack straight out in front of you. Cross baby's legs Indian style to sit down in pouch. Baby's head rests against center of your chest.

Hip Straddle
To carry a larger child on parent's hip, pull sack to your side, straddle baby on hip as usual, place inner channel of batting under
baby's bottom. One leg will be behind your hip, the other in front, both legs hand out of sling. "lift baby" with one hand while pulling
on tail with the other, to tighten sack so baby is closer to parent's side. Pull outer channel of batting up as high as you like
to support baby behind his back or head. To carry baby on back, position baby same as hip straddle, then slide sling and baby behind your arm.
