Sling Difficulties

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
Okay, so I got one of the last few SBP Maya redos. It's a really pretty sling! I had DD in it for a few minutes yesterday and it seemed to work OK. It was actually MORE COMFY than my Moby! Granted, I haven't worn it for a long time, but it was kind of nice to have only one shoulder being pulled on, versus two.

So today. Maybe I am just tired and frustrated. I can't seem to get DD's bum into a pouch/seated position. She does like to straighten her legs, which doesn't help...but how do I get the fabric all the way to the hollow of her knees? I can't seem to get a "seat" for her.

Also, the rings end up so low, no matter how high I start them out. I start them way up on my shoulder, and they work their way down until they're on top of my boob, under DD's arm. When I tighten the sling, it pulls the rings down.

Help a lone slinging mama out, please.

I just keep readjusting the ring location until I'm satisfied. Once I have things snug and the baby situated where I need him/her, then we're good. Practice, practice, practice. And watch some youtube vids.
