Many infants enjoy being held close to the body, and using a baby pouch sling offers this. Baby pouch slings are best for smaller parents because they are not adjustable. Pouches come in sizes ranging from extra small to extra large, which makes them available to both mothers and fathers. When using a baby pouch sling, remember to keep safety in mind since moving in the wrong direction can lead to baby falling out of the sling.
Step 1
Practice placing baby in and removing baby from the pouch sling until you are comfortable with both acts.
Step 2
Place baby in the pouch facing you when he is small or sleepy.
Step 3
Place baby in the pouch facing outward when he is wide awake and can hold his head up and sit on his own.
Step 4
Allow your toddler to ride on your hip in a pouch sling to free your hands. Toddlers may also enjoy riding piggy-back style in the pouch sling.
