The myth that slings are difficult to put on usually refers to scarf slings. Moms wonder how a piece of long cloth can hold a baby. In fact, winding a sling scarf is not difficult, you just need to follow the instructions carefully.
Instructions
Step 1
Take the sling in your hands, straighten it so that no folds form. Fold it in half, mark the middle. Now place the center of the sling over your belly.
Step 2
Then lay the sling sheets criss-cross on the back. Smooth the sides of the sling to avoid twisting.
Step 3
Sling the ends of the sling from the back to the front over the shoulders. Spread out the pocket on your stomach. Again, watch the folds - they should not be, otherwise the baby will be uncomfortable.
Step 4
Take the baby facing you, place him on your shoulder and place the baby on a tourniquet that is located on your stomach. The sling should go under the baby's knees.
Step 5
Take the edge of the pocket formed by the sling and pull it up to about the back of the baby's head. The main harness of the pocket should remain in place, approximately under the baby's knees.
Step 6
Then, while holding the baby with one hand, begin to pull the pocket with the other hand in such a way as to fix the baby on the stomach, but not too tight.
Step 7
Then pull on the sides of the sling, remembering to support your baby. First, pull the edges of the sling from the inside, then straighten the edges on the outside.
Step 8
Next, pull both ends of the sling into round bundles, place them along the sides of the baby. Slightly straighten the harnesses under the baby's booty, cross them.
Step 9
After that, pass the straightened parts of the sling under the baby's legs (the legs should remain free outside) and place the ends behind the back.
Step 10
It remains only to tie the ends of the sling tightly behind the back. In case long ends remain from the sling, the knot can be tied in front of the stomach. Just make sure that he does not cause inconvenience to the baby.
