How to Wear

Cradle Hold NB-3months

  1. Place Sling over head and rest on opposite shoulder, as if wearing a sash.
  2. Ensure the curved seam is at the bottom, this is where babe will rest.
  3. With Sling on non-dominant shoulder, gently rest babe in the pouch.
    (Adjust until both of you are comfortable and babe is snug.)
  4. Turn fabric over shoulder to expose Merino lining. This distributes weight evenly over your back.

Hip Carry/Front hold (When babe can hold head up)

  1. Place Sling over head and rest on opposite shoulder, as if wearing a sash.
  2. For this hold, wear on dominant shoulder.
  3. Place babe up on your shoulder and slide into pouch.
  4. Babes legs can be inside or outside of sling.
  5. Turn fabric over shoulder to expose the Merino lining. This distributes weight evenly over your back.
  6. Nestling advises wearer to maintain one arm underneath babe.

Wearer is ready to go when…

  • Babe is in line with or above the hip.
  • Babe is comfortable and so are you.
  • Babe is secure, supported and close to you.

Nursing Babies

To nurse, slide your baby close to the breast you are nursing with. Pull the inside carrier fabric down to expose your breast and help your baby latch on. Smaller babies (or while you are getting the hang of it) will probably need the support from one of your arms. For additional privacy while nursing or sleeping, place your baby toward the inside of the wide strip of fabric to cover your baby and breast.
