CONGRATULATIONS!
You have chosen to carry your baby in a sling. Babies across the globe
are carried by their parents, siblings, and caregivers as they continue
through their daily activities. A practice which benefi ts both the baby
and the wearer as you will see. Before providing you with step-by-
step instructions on how to wear your sling, we fi rst want to explain
why you should carry your baby. Take your time and read through the
manual calmly. You do not have to become an expert in all the posi-
tions presented. Besides, not every baby will like every position. We
present you with a large variety so that you and your baby can try
them out and choose your favorites.
Learning to carry your baby comfortably is like learning to dance. It
takes a little practice before the movements become second nature
and you glide through them with your eyes closed. It is often help-
ful to practice adjusting the sling several times before placing your
baby inside. It can also help to talk to your baby, explain what you are
doing while placing him in the sling. Your baby will sense if you are
uncomfortable. Tell him you are a bit insecure yourself but that you
will learn how to do this together.
You will see, once you have learned to carry your baby, you will won-
der how you ever lived without it. Not only does it make life easier, it
provides sensory and motor development and much more.
