Wearing - Cradle Hold
Cradle hold is typically used from birth to 3 months.
- Hold the sling in one hand with the rings and tail in front. If you will wear the sling on your right
shoulder, hold it in your left hand.
- Slip the sling on over your head, keeping the rings in front. Slip the sling onto your shoulder.
- Create a pocket for baby by pulling a wall of fabric against your body. Adjust sling so that baby will
be at or above your waist. Leave the top edge of sling - the side away from your body - loose until
baby is in sling.

- Hold baby on your shoulder opposite the rings in burp position.
- Slide the baby into the sling feet first. You may need to wrap the baby's feet around your body. Keep
baby's head a few inches away from the rings so you will have slack to adjust once baby is in position.

- Settle baby down into pocket of sling.
- Once baby is comfortably in position, tighten only the top rail (the side away from your body) by pulling
that side through the rings. This top rail will hold baby in the sling.
- For more information about tightening the fabric with the baby in the sling, watch this
video and other video.
