Hold the sling in front of you with the rings up and at the shoulder to wear on. Place opposite arm through the sling and up and over your head. Adjust the edges (rails) to create a pouch.
The sling should fit snugly and hit no lower than the top of your hip bone.
The Sling should rest on one shoulder, with the rings at a corsage positions leaving your dominant hand free. Each edge (rail) can be tightened individually. The bottom one to lift baby up and the top rail to bring baby closer to you.
Always make sure baby is supported by the sling before you release your hold.
