Cradle Position
Age: Birth to around 3, 4 months
as
Put on your pouch so that the seam is slightly off-center from your belly button away from the sling shoulder. Cradle your baby in your arms. Pull open the pouch of the sling by pulling the outermost seam away from you. Slip your baby inside the pouch, keeping his bottom deep in the middle of the pouch and plenty fabric on each side of him. It helps to put the bottom in first, the head in last. Most babies will be comfortable with their heads on the same side as you are wearing the sling (ie. the shoulder covered in fabric) Do not allow the fabric to cover the baby completely as this may result in him getting too hot.

Age: Since 3 or 4 months

With the sling in place over your shoulder, hold your baby high up on the other shoulder. Pull open the pouch of the sling by pulling the outermost seam away from you. Keeping your baby upright, slip him inside so that he is sitting cross-legged or with his legs in a crouching "froglike" position in the bottom of the pouch. Please ensure that the fabric round his back is pulled right up to support his head and neck. This position is great for babies with colic or babies who don’t like to lie down.

With the sling in place over your shoulder, hold your baby, facing outwards, around his middle. Pull open the pouch of the sling by pulling the outermost seam away from you and line the seam up with your belly button. Keeping your baby upright and facing outwards, slip him inside so that he is sitting cross-legged in the bottom of the pouch. Please ensure that the fabric is pulled well up to his chest in front and right up to his shoulders behind.

Hip Carry
Age: This is a position to use only after your baby can hold up its own head
as
Support baby with one arm and slip sling over baby's head and arms. Lift baby to your shoulder and pull sling down to fit pouch over baby's bottom. Put baby’s feet all the way through, between your body and the pouch. The pouch should form into a sort of a chair, with the bottom rail (the padded one) coming under his knees, while the top rail comes up the back. Your baby's weight will create a seat in the pouch of the sling and deep it securely in place. At this point you can shift the baby around as needed. If you need more free hands, you can shift the baby to behind your arm or around to your back.
