Ring sling: the Cradle Carry

Micki's Wing
Especially easy to learn, fast and simple, this carry is perfect for preemies, newborns and sleepy babies. It also works great for nursing.
These instructions will work with baby's head on either the right or left side.

Micki's Wing
Put sling on and tighten the inside rail by pulling on the outside edge of the fabric. Make sure the rail is snugly across your chest. This will create a pouch for baby to lie in.

Micki's Wing
Hold baby across your body. With opposite hand pull the outside rail out and slip baby into the pouch, bottom first.

While supporting baby with one hand, settle the baby into the bottom of the pouch. Make sure baby's head is supported by the sling.

Micki's Wing
Hold onto baby with one hand and with the other hand pull the inside edge of the fabric across your body to tighten the outside rail.

That's it!
