· If you feel like you need to hold your Baby try tightening the straps, it is better to
have them shorter rather than longer
· Make sure that you hear the audible click when fastening each buckle and always
fasten the smaller safety buckle when using the sling
· Check to see that your Baba Sling is in good condition before use
· Practice with a doll first and have someone assist you when you first use your Baba
Sling
· Change shoulders periodically - when you do exchange the adjustment straps
· Ensure that Baby is secure when bending over
· Experiment with the different positions, be flexible, if Baby wants a change of
position, simply maneuver into another - you do not need to take Baba out to do this
· If it a position doesn't feel quite right - try maneuvering the fabric around to fit better,
maybe Baba might like to have their head and/or feet out
· Try your Baba Sling when you and Baby are both calm and relaxed
