Good for babies with good head and neck control, this hold is just like carrying your baby with your hands. And yet, you can go hands-free! Save yourself some energy and use the hip carry.
Put on your sling and hold your baby on the same hip you intend to carry them on.
With that same arm, lift baby high onto your shoulder and with the opposite hand, pull the pouch of the sling away from your body.
Grasp baby's feet with the same hand and slide baby down into sling slowly.
Use both hands to spread the pouch fabric over baby's bottom. Make sure the inner rail, or the edge of the fabric closest to your body is under baby's knees and settle baby's bottom so it's lower than its knees.
Grasp the top edge of the fabric that's behind baby's back with one hand, and use the other hand to tighten both the top and bottom rail of the sling's tail.
