sling advice

I have a sling and I'm going to try to use it tomorrow for my almost 5 month old son. It's the baba sling!
Any tips people have would be greatly appreciated

Check out the TICKS safety guidelines. A babasling might not be the easiest to get on with but definitely persevere with babywearing as it will make your life so much easier!

Thank you! I'm excited to try it! The only bit I'm anxious about is actually getting him in properly! He's a very long baby!!

Have you any sling meetup's near you? They're great for getting good advice & instructions... Haven't tried the baba sling, but have tried others & they're great!

I'm sure they're are lots of tutorials on youtube & also, try putting him in it in front of a mirror - if he's uncomfortable he'll let you know. Good luck!

I have a babasling and love it! So far have only had him facing me but need to move onto the hip position soon, I didn't get on very well with the forward facing position. There are tutorials on YouTube for it too x
