1) Grab the wrap at the top rail, ensuring the middle is positioned in front of you.

5) Gently sit your baby on the wrap, supporting them at all times.
6) With one hand supporting your baby, use the other hand to pull the top rail of the wrap and stretch it over your baby’s back up to their neck. Smooth the fabric along your baby’s back and pull any excess downward toward the bottom. Ensure the top rail near your baby’s neck is also close to your neck.
7) Tuck the bottom part of the wrap between you and your baby. Ensure the fabric spans evenly from one popliteal fossa (the back of the knee) to the other.
8) Slide your hand under the wrap tail near your shoulder, grab the top rail (the one close to your neck), and some of the fabric. Turn it inside out to create a “sleeve.”

17) Tying a baby sling is ready.
How to use Ring Sling
1. Lay the sling over your shoulder so the rings are in front of your body and the tail hangs down your back.
2. Hold the rings with one hand. Slide your other hand under the sling and grab the bottom rail.
3. Pull the bottom rail to the front, creating a twist on your back. The outer rail will now become the top rail, which will sit near your baby’s neck. Gather the sling like an accordion, keeping the top rail aligned.
4. Feed the gathered fabric from the bottom through both rings.
5. Adjust the length of the loop so the sling hangs approximately at hip height.
6. Feed the sling over the top ring and under the bottom ring.
7. Adjust the fabric within the rings so the rails are visible and the fabric is evenly gathered.
8. Rest your baby on the shoulder opposite the rings and guide their legs under the sling strand.
9. Sit your baby on the sling so the fabric runs under their thighs and bottom.
10. Pull the top rail of the sling up to your baby’s ear. Ensure your baby’s hands are bent, and that they are not straightened under your armpit. Check that both of your baby’s shoulders are covered by the sling.
11. While gently swaying forward, slide your hand under your baby’s leg (on the ring side) to grab the bottom rail of the sling. Tuck any excess fabric under your baby’s bottom, ensuring the fabric on their back is smooth and free from creases.
12. Bring the loose fabric from your baby’s neck and shoulders toward the rings.
13. Tighten the fabric from the top rail, focusing on the area near your baby’s shoulders.
14. Tighten the sling diagonally, piece by piece, ensuring even tension.
15. Check the fabric tension across your back and adjust any loose areas.
18. Ensure your baby is positioned symmetrically: knees at hip height, hands bent, face uncovered, and the fabric tight enough to support their bottom and thighs.
CAUTION!
The ring sling is suitable for babies weighing 3–20 kg, including newborns. For small babies who cannot yet hold their head up, position them in the middle of your chest or slightly to the side. Ensure their legs are bent and positioned slightly apart, but not excessively wide. Pay attention to the
