Pouch Slings: Babywearing positions that you can use from STBS, LLC.
Basic Rules:
*The sling must cup the baby's butt and support as much of the baby's body as possible.
*The baby's head must be higher than the baby's butt and the baby must be able to breathe well.
*The sling must be under tension.
*The babywearer must feel like the sling makes the baby feel lighter to hold or carry and that the sling is comfortable.
*The baby's bottom must be lined up with the pouch seat seam.
General Idea:
A well-fitting sling can be used from the day a baby is born all the way through toddlerhood or around 35lbs. How you wear your sling depends on how mature your baby is, how much the baby weighs and how comfortable and safe each position feels to you. How long your sling lasts depends on the quality and type of fabric & thread you used to make it, how often it has been laundered, and how much use it gets.
The positions on this page are provided as a starting point for people new to babywearing as well as a good quick visual reference for those with more experience. In other words, this will give you a general idea.
