Tips for wearing the close baby carrier

I have a close baby carrier sling for 4 week old DD2 but could do with some tips on wearing in.

I've looked at the instructions but was hoping for some practical advice such as where the rings should be, how to get it on without becoming twisted?

Thanks :)

Have you looked at the baby wearer website and youtube? It's where i got all my knowledge from! Haven't got the closer am afraid so can't help on that score.

I found it quite easy to slip over my head, however I have found it to be a bit of a myth that the rings sit by my hips, they are more on my waist (as they are in most of the pictures!)

Don't let it confuse you too much as I promise it isn't too bad, if it is all twisted take it apart and put it back together again, it isn't too hard I promise but takes a bit of practice (I did it a fair amount as I used the sling to bf whilst out and found I could swap it around depending on which boob we were on!)

Don't let it beat you, just ensure that the fixed cross is at your back, that your head goes between the cross over and you slip your arms through the rest. Did you get the dvd with it?
