Snuggle Hold
Newborn to 12 months
Some newborns are happier in a vertical position. Place your baby carefully in the sling in a vertical position with baby's chest to yours. You can carry your baby in this position, before your baby has head control if you pull the sling up over baby's head, then tighten it enough to support baby's head, then tighten the bottom of the sling that goes under baby's bottom to the bend in baby's knees. It is also a good burping position. When baby has head control you can just pull the sling up over baby's shoulders and tighten it enough to hold baby snug to your chest.
Once baby is in spread the fabric above the rings over your shoulder, forming a cap, so that the sling is more comfortable, with the weight evenly distributed across your back.
