- Be Safe - Follow all the safety precautions and use common sense at all times.
- Be Confident - Putting your baby in a sling for the first time may make you a little nervous. Do not worry and do not be scared to cross your baby's legs. Remember, your baby was tightly packed inside the womb and many babies feel secure when swaddled.
- Practice Makes Perfect - Babies may get weary if you practice putting them in and out of the sling. Practice first with dolls and teddies until you have the technique!
- Walk! Walk! Walk! - Once your baby is in the sling, hit the streets! Babies hate to stand still until they are settled inside the sling.
- Wear the Correct Size - The sling will be uncomfortable for you and your baby if it doesn't fit correctly. Check the sizing table to ensure you have the sling to fit you.
- Keep Trying - It is best to practice using the sling when your baby is most contented and not hungry or tired. Some babies just may not like the front Lifft position. Remember, the Lifft Sling is not just for newborns - it is invaluable for weary toddlers too! Keep your sling and when baby is old enough move on and try the side Lifft.
