USING YOUR RING SLING – TUMMY TO TUMMY HOLD
UTILISER VOTRE ÉCHARPE À BOUCLE (SLING) : POSITION VENTRE CONTRE VENTRE
CÓMO USAR SU BANDOLERA CON ARGOLLA: SUJECIÓN PANZA CON PANZA
1. Lift your baby up and hold her against your free shoulder. Continuing to support her weight, slide her into the sling pouch so that the fabric rests near
her knees. You may wear her on your chest or on your hip.
2. Place your baby's legs in a natural, seated M-position. Baby's knees should be in line with her belly button, gently spread to the sides, with bottom and
legs forming the letter M. Knees should be higher than your baby's bottom.
3. Use one hand to support the child while using the other to lift the panel up behind the child's back. Support the baby's torso and neck by ensuring that
the carrier fabric is pulled tightly over baby's shoul ders and back, and reaches up to the base of the baby's head. This should be done until baby is able to
independently support his or her own head.
4. Continuing to support your baby, ensure that there is plenty of fabric under her bottom, and that the lower rail of the ring sling is reaching from one knee
to the other like a hammock to ensure that she is in a deep, seated position with knees higher than bottom. This ensures adequate minimum leg openings.
5. Still supporting baby's weight, gather all excess fabric across baby's back and bottom, moving it towards the rings.
6. Tighten the top rail of the ring sling near baby's neck by pulling the corresponding inside rail of the tail parallel to the top rail (directly across).
7. If necessary, tighten the bottom rail of the sling as well by pulling the corresponding outside rail of the tail parallel to the bottom rail (directly down).
Be careful to maintain your baby's deep seat by not tightening this portion too much. The fabric should stretch with slight tension from knee to knee,
maintaining a hammock seat, with baby's knees higher than her bottom.
8. Spread the sling widely across your back to provide the most comfortable support.
9. Spread the sling evenly over the top of your shoulder for more comfort. Optimal placement is away from your neck and closer to your shoulder/upper arm.
