Sling Wearing

Hold sling with the rings to the front. Place left arm through sling.

Place sling over your head with padding resting on your shoulder. (You will usually prefer your right shoulder if you are right-handed. Reverse instructions if left-handed.) To adjust sling, support baby's weight and pull tail through the rings.
