Wearing an Infant or Smaller Child

Infant Semi-recline
The infant semi-recline position allows the smaller baby to experience the world while giving him or her complete spinal support.
To place baby in this position:
- Place sling on desired shoulder
- Turn inside batting up against your chest
- Hold baby in your arms with back of baby's head toward the rings
- Place baby in sling in a semi-sitting position
NOTE: For the tiny newborn, you can fold a receiving blanket and place it inside the sling under the baby's torso so the baby can see out.
Horizontal position
The horizontal position lets your baby nurse or sleep in comfort. Smaller babies will fit curled up entirely within the sling. As your baby grows, his or her feet can hang out.
To place baby in this position:
- Place sling on desired shoulder
- Loosen tail to slack the sack
- Turn inside batting up against your stomach,
- even with the belt line
- Hold baby in your arms in a horizontal position with the baby's head on the side opposite the rings
- Place baby in sling laying down
- Both of these positions can be used with the day-old newborn. They can also be used for the older baby; however, many older babies find these positions to be too confining and prefer other positions.
Remember, if you or your baby is uncomfortable, don't be afraid to shift either the baby or the sling until you are both happy. A baby in a properly fitted and adjusted sling should be comfortable and effortless to carry.
