Ring Sling: Threading Your Sling and Putting it on

1. I like to hold the rings in my non-dominant hand with the tail of the sling in the other hand.


2. Slip your hand through the rings and use your opposite hand to help gather the fabric into your fist.


3. Transfer the gathered tail back into your dominant hand.


4. Thread the gathered tail fabric through both rings.

5. Find one edge of the fabric and pull it out to
the side.


6. Continue pulling the fabric out, working your way around to the opposite edge until it resembles the picture above. Grasp the tail of the fabric and pull the loose fabric through.

Putting Your Sling On

Hold your threaded sling in the hand opposite to the shoulder you want the rings to rest on.

Slip the sling over your head like so.

Spread the fabric out along your back. This will help distribute the weight of the baby evenly.

Spread the pleats over your shoulder. Pulling on the tail fabric on the outside of the tail will tighten the inside, or top rail of the sling, making a pocket for baby to sit in. Now you're ready for the baby.
