    Before you can master the different methods for wrapping your baby in a sling, you need to learn how to fold and secure the sling itself. If your sling does not have rings, you’ll cross the fabric and secure it with a knot. To begin, fold the entire length of the fabric so that it isn’t as wide.
    • Do not twist the sling. You want it smooth and even.

    Take the folded fabric and wrap it against your stomach. Check the placement – you want the middle of the fabric to be hugging your stomach. [1]

    Bring the ends of the fabric, criss-crossed, around your back, so that the crossed ends come over your shoulders and hang over your chest. [2]

    Take the ends of the fabric hanging over your chest and cross them again, tucking each end under and through the fabric on your waist.

    Bring the ends of the fabric around your back again.
    • Note that if your fabric is still too long, you can repeat this process, bringing the sling around your front and back until it’s a good length to tie in a knot.

    Tie the ends together in a knot, and smooth out any crumples and creases.

    If your sling has rings, the process for setting it up is a bit different. First, put the side of the sling with the rings along the shoulder opposite to the hip or arm you typically use to carry your child. In other words, if you usually carry your baby on your right side, then set the rings on your left shoulder. Let the part of the sling without rings fall freely down your back. [3]
  2. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/2\/25\/Wrap-a-Baby-Sling-Step-8.jpg\/v4-460px-Wrap-a-Baby-Sling-Step-8.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/2\/25\/Wrap-a-Baby-Sling-Step-8.jpg\/aid4242503-v4-728px-Wrap-a-Baby-Sling-Step-8.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
    Spread the sling out completely.
  3. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/2\/2a\/Wrap-a-Baby-Sling-Step-9.jpg\/v4-460px-Wrap-a-Baby-Sling-Step-9.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/2\/2a\/Wrap-a-Baby-Sling-Step-9.jpg\/aid4242503-v4-728px-Wrap-a-Baby-Sling-Step-9.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
    Take the end of the sling without rings, which has fallen down your back, and bring it to your front by passing it under your arm. Spread the sling again. [4]
    • Make sure, at this point, that the sling isn’t twisted on your back.
  4. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/9\/9a\/Wrap-a-Baby-Sling-Step-10.jpg\/v4-460px-Wrap-a-Baby-Sling-Step-10.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/9\/9a\/Wrap-a-Baby-Sling-Step-10.jpg\/aid4242503-v4-728px-Wrap-a-Baby-Sling-Step-10.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
    Grasp the end of the sling and wrinkle it so that it will fit, then pass it through both rings.
    • Note that these rings are functional; you can customize the size of the sling to fit your child’s age and size.
  5. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/5\/5a\/Wrap-a-Baby-Sling-Step-11.jpg\/v4-460px-Wrap-a-Baby-Sling-Step-11.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/5\/5a\/Wrap-a-Baby-Sling-Step-11.jpg\/aid4242503-v4-728px-Wrap-a-Baby-Sling-Step-11.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
    Bring the end of the sling back over the top ring and down through the bottom ring. Check to see that you can tighten it by pulling on the end.
    • Once the sling is secured, you don’t have to untie it. You can simply remove it as is, hang it up, and, when you wear it again, adjust the size as needed.

    For newborns and babies up to a year old, the cradle hold position works well. Starting with the basic wrap, you’ll have two layers of fabric across your chest. Pull on one layer, and it will open like a pouch. [5]
  2. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/4\/40\/Wrap-a-Baby-Sling-Step-13.jpg\/v4-460px-Wrap-a-Baby-Sling-Step-13.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/4\/40\/Wrap-a-Baby-Sling-Step-13.jpg\/aid4242503-v4-728px-Wrap-a-Baby-Sling-Step-13.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
    Hold your baby against your shoulder, lean back a little, and slip his or her feet in the sling, toward your midsection.
  3. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/d\/d3\/Wrap-a-Baby-Sling-Step-14.jpg\/v4-460px-Wrap-a-Baby-Sling-Step-14.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/d\/d3\/Wrap-a-Baby-Sling-Step-14.jpg\/aid4242503-v4-728px-Wrap-a-Baby-Sling-Step-14.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
    Turn your baby so that his or her arm and side are resting against your body; then, slowly lower your baby’s bottom on the pouch. [6]
    • Make sure that your baby is facing the opening of the pouch.
  4. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/0\/06\/Wrap-a-Baby-Sling-Step-15.jpg\/v4-460px-Wrap-a-Baby-Sling-Step-15.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/0\/06\/Wrap-a-Baby-Sling-Step-15.jpg\/aid4242503-v4-728px-Wrap-a-Baby-Sling-Step-15.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
    Take the fabric around your waist and pull it over your baby’s body.
