Ring Sling: The Kangaroo Carry

The kangaroo carry is excellent for babies with good head control. With baby's legs crossed in front of their body it works well to imitate the womb and helps rid baby of gas. Colicky babies or babies with reflux may especially like this hold as it puts comforting pressure on their abdomen.

Pull the inside rail snugly against your body by pulling on the outside edge of the fabric. This will create a pouch for baby to settle in.


With baby's back high against your chest, cross baby's legs . . .


and slide baby in to the pouch you've made.


Support baby with one hand and use your free hand to tighten the top rail by pulling on the inside edge of the fabric. Pull tightly and make sure baby is confined in the pouch.


All done!
