How to Measure Yourself
The fit of your Sugar Sling is very important.  Make sure you measure more than once to make sure you have it right.  And email me if you are unsure. I'll be happy to talk you through it.
 
   
  Start at the cap of your shoulder and measure yourslef across to the opposite hip.  This can be done across your back if you are sporting a preggo belly.
 

Be sure that you end your measurment at  or about an inch bellow your belly button. You don't need to go all the way to your hip, as that will make the sling sag and pull your shoulder. The size of your sling is based on YOU not the baby.

 
 
 
How To Wear Your Munchkin
Here are some photos to get you started. 
 

 This is a pouch style sling. The baby sits in the pocket that is formed by the two layers of the sling.  The edge towards you (with padding if your sling is a Deluxe) is called the bottom rail and the outside edge with the pocket called the top rail.

TRICKS YOU WANT TO KNOW
 
 
 
   
If  the top rail of the sling feels loose, simply fold it down at your shoulder.  This is especially important when using the back carry or the kangaroo carry (front facing out).
 
 
 

  

 

Use your sling to help teach the little guy how to walk.  You don't have to bend over and hurt your back.
