The two most important things I tell parents about using a sling are: 1) if the baby's bottom is below your
belly button, the sling is too low and your back will hurt; 2) each time you put the baby in the sling, you will need to walk
around until the baby settles in.
Continue in this manner moving immediately
around the
belly button and continuing to move in an ever widening circle
around the
belly until you have reached the edge of the rib cage and hips.
