Cross your baby's legs tailor-style to sit down in the pouch. Baby's head rests against the center of your chest. If your baby cries when you first put him in the sling, and he's in properly, you might try again later when you're both in a relaxed mood. In comparison, some babies cry the first time they are put in a bath tub, but learn to love baths as they get used to them. Baby can face tummy to tummy with parent, too.
Little infants can put their legs in the sack, while larger babies let their legs dangle out.
Position channel of batting closest to your tummy either up against your waist to create a curved bag with baby's legs in, or tuck batting under baby's bottom with legs out. Tighten tail snug. To carry a larger child on your hip, pull sack to your side, straddle baby on hip as usual, and place the inner channel of batting under the child's bottom. One leg will be behind your hip, and the other in front, with both legs hanging out of the sling. Lift baby with one hand while pulling on the tail with the other to tighten the sack so baby is closer to your side.
