I got a hm native style pouch sling customed fit but I can't seem to wear my 7wk. old in it...or at least it doesn't feel right.

She looks so uncomfortable in it and normally keeps her legs out stiff and they stick out past my hip all weird. What am I doing wrong? How can I do it better?

I can't put her down for more than 2min. usually, so I really need this to get anything done!

Do you have a pouch or a ring sling? I can point you to some resources depending on which you have.
It really is OK for them to look "squished" LOL I asked the same question just 7 mos ago!

He really looked squished but always fell asleep right away and never cried. Trust me, they won't look that way long-they grow too fast!
Some baies don't like the cradle position but you can modify it a bit so they are semi-reclined.

I have a pouch sling.

And I'd feel better if she looked "squished" but she looks more uncomfortable...legs straight out, etc.

Just wondering if maybe she is not positioned in there correctly...have you looked a the directions on www.hotslings.com? Those are great and should help. Or you can post a pic so we can make some suggestions...
