JumpSac Ring Sling Wearing Instructions - Cradle Carry - Variation 1
Here's a variation of the cradle carry, where baby's head is positioned near the rings.
Cradle carry is suitable for newborns and smaller babies with no head control.

| First, put on your sling, and prepare/adjust the pouch just enough to fit your baby. Pls ensure that rings are at the 'corsage position' or even higher. Then, hold your baby in burp position on you 'free' shoulder (the shoulder which do not bear the sling) | Open up the pouch. While supporting your baby's bum, put your baby's legs into the pouch area first. |
 |  |
| Then, turn the baby sideways slightly, facing away from the rings, and slowly ease your baby's bum into the pouch area. Pull up bit by bit the fabric behind baby's back with your hand. | While holding the fabric behind baby's head, and still supporting your baby's head and back, continue on easing your baby's body into the pouch |
 |  |
| While still supporting your baby's body, pull up the fabric behind your baby's head, to support it. | This is how it looks like when your baby's body is in the pouch, with baby's head being supported by the fabric. |
 |  |
| To tighten, pull the top rail first, in the direction across your body, as shown. This is to ensure baby's head is firmly supported by the fabric. Support baby's weight/bum for easy adjustment/tightening. | Then, pull the bottom rail, as shown, to make a shallower pouch, if you think your baby is lying too deep in the pouch area. Support baby's weight/bum for easy adjustment/tightening. |

| This is how it looks like when you're done! |
