How To Use A Ring Sling - Video

 

Woven Wednesday's aren't always just about wraps -we're also big fans of ring slings too!

 

We have been asked for a tutorial for them so here we go! Ring slings are great for newborns and toddlers alike, so we're showing the same technique for an older baby and a smaller baby too.

 

An older baby will sit more on your hip for a full hip carry, whereas a smaller baby will sit more 'off centre' on your front.

The key is to take your time - the more time you take to prepare the sling first, means the less to do once baby is in.

 

Hope this helps!

 

 

Woven wrap ring slings (which most are) come in a variety of colours, designs, lengths, weaves and blends. One of the biggest differences between them though, is the shoulder style. There are 2 main styles - gathered and pleated.

 

Gathered Shoulder

With gathered ring slings, the rings are sewn in, with stitching running in a straight line from one side of the width, to the other. This can be spread over your shoulder or sandwiched up onto your shoulder.
