Safe for newborns and toddlers up to 35 lbs. 2 Finding the right fit Finding the right fit You will want the sling to fit snugly but feel comfortable. If you put your baby in the sling and it feels too tight, you need a larger size. If the sling is too loose and baby doesn’t feel secure then you need a smaller size. With baby inside the sling, the baby should sit in line with your hip bones or above. The bottom of the pouch should be somewhere around your belly button. If it’s much lower than this, your sling is too big. The fit around the baby should be snug and create a womb-like feeling. The baby may look squished but as long as you and the baby are comfortable then you have the right size. See illustration below for a guide to where the sling should lay. Please remember this is a guideline.
