Karma Baby Sling Instructions

How to use your Karma Baby Sling

Using your sling is simple and fun. It took me a few times to feel really comfortable with it. Now it is like second nature! Following are some simple instructions and tips on how to best wear your Karma Carrier.

Some helpful tips:
1. Practice when your baby is well fed and well rested.
2. Always make sure your baby is secure before letting go.
3. Always support your baby while bending over.
3. Have fun-this is going to make such a big difference in you and your baby's life!
 
There are 4 main postitions for using your sling:

The Cradle Carry
This position is great for little babies and naptime. I still use this position with my 5 month old and it gets him to sleep every time!
My Karma Baby Slings
1. Begin by folding your sling in half and placing it over your non-dominant arm.
2. After pulling the carrier over your head and resting it on the opposite shoulder, place your baby's feet into the pouch.
3. Gently lay your baby's head down in the carrier. Just like in the womb! Tip: Your baby's head should always be nearest the shoulder the pouch is resting on.

Kangaroo Carry
This hold is great for babies that just want to soak up the world. My sons favorite! They are very stimulated by the sights, sounds, and smells around them, but the stimulation is regulated by you. This carry is appropriate for babies that can hold their heads up well and are in a wakeful state. Be careful to always support your baby while bending over.
My Karma Baby Slings
1. When putting on your carrier, be sure the seam in in line with your belly button. While holding your baby directly in front of you, scrunch up his legs and open the pouch.
2. Place your baby, bottom down, into the sling. Voila!

The Hip Carry
This is a simple position in which your baby is resting on your hip. Good for babies that can hold up their heads well.
1. Begin by opening the pouch over one hip.
2. Place your baby's bottom in the sling on the seam, facing you. This makes a little seat for him. Be sure to hold on to him with one hand until you feel he is secure.  His bum should be a little lower than his knees.

 

Belly to Belly
A favorite, for sure. Your baby's gonna love looking up adoringly at mama's face in this carry. For babies who can hold up their heads well. Pictures coming soon!
Follow the directions for the hip carry but place baby against your belly instead of on your hip.
