Cradle Carry

CRADLE CARRY: Use from birth to about 6 months or longer, depending on size of baby.  The baby shown in these pictures is almost too old/big for the cradle carry.

After putting your sling on, pick your baby up and put her up over your shoulder.  Open the pocket of your sling and lower baby in, bottom and feet first.  Her bottom should be in the curve of the sling, with the seam running perpendicular to her spine.

"Bounce" her down into the sling, by grabbing the outer rail and bouncing (see the video)  Baby can sleep, nurse, or look around.  Arms can be in or out.
