Your baby will be in the perfect position to hear your breathing and your heartbeat in the tummy to tummy position.
Babies with reflux or colic may appreciate being upright in the tummy to tummy hold.
Hold baby up high on your shoulder and use your opposite hand to help slide baby into sling.
Position the bottom rail behind baby's knees and the top rail around it's shoulders. Tighten the bottom rail by pulling on the outside edge of the fabric. Baby's bottom should be lower than it's knees.
Optional:
A small or sleepy baby may like to have it's feet in the sling. Simply tuck the bottom rail under the baby's feet and continue with these instructions.
Tighten top rail by pulling on the inside edge of the fabric. Baby should be tight against your body.
Baby is ready to go!
If your baby needs a little more support, is tired or nursing, you can pull the top of the sling up to support it's head.
