To assemble the sling, place the tail through both rings from the bottom up, then over the side of the top ring &  under the edge of the other.

Wear the sling across your body diagonally, with the rings/tail hanging in front.  Decide which shoulder you'd like the sling to hang on. Slip the opposite arm through the sling, then lift the sling over your head, and  place the sling on the correct shoulder.  Tighten or loosen tail so the bottom of the sling hits around waist level. The fabric in the center of your back should be between your shoulder blades to counter-balance the baby's weight. You can tighten the top or bottom rails independently by following the padded rail and pulling more of its material through the rings than the other rail.   

For a young baby, adjust sling tighter to your body. Lower rail should be snug to waist. Hold your baby on the opposite shoulder, as if to burp.  Support their weight carefully, and slide babe gently into the sling feet first, their head will be supported at the ring end.  Remove your arm, making sure the tapered material supports their head.  Pull up the cushioned sides so babe is secure in the middle of the sling fabric.

Once your baby has good head-support they can sit in the sling facing out.  Position their head against your chest, legs crossed Indian-style, with their bottom centered in the sling.   Babies love this position--held tightly, but able to  see everything!

Your baby can also face you, with their legs straddling your waist.  Pull as much fabric through the rings as necessary to tighten & hold the baby snugly.  Larger babies can straddle your hip in this position.

To nurse your baby in the sling, cradle babe with their feet toward the rings.  Pull up sides to cover yourself. Don't get discouraged if this seems very awkward at first. With practice, you can nurse very discreetly in this way!  After awhile, you will find the positions that are most comfortable for you & your baby.  If your baby falls asleep in the sling, you can lay them down by leaning over the bed or crib, laying baby down, slipping the sling over your head, & undoing the tail from the rings.

Use common sense when wearing your baby. Bend at the knees, not the  waist. Check the baby frequently to make sure he is secure & comfortable. Wearing your baby is one of the best ways to comfort him & spend time with him, & allow yourself a little more freedom of movement. Experiment and enjoy!

Practice wearing it & getting your baby comfortable in it.  You'll soon wonder how you ever did without it!
