This video demonstrates how to wear your baby using a ring sling. Baby wearing is the most healthy way to carry your baby. Studies prove all babies need to be carried to thrive. Research shows that babies that are held often develop better, sleep more peacefully, cry less, are more calm & content, & nurse better with improved digestion. Every time a baby is worn, the brain develops & grows. Wearing your baby ensures a happy baby. Visit: www.saranevill.com My informational blog aikoarts.blogspot.com

Great video! I have just made the switch to a ring sling from a pouch sling and you have helped me learn to use my new ring sling. I feel that there is a definite learning curve in switching to this type of sling, but I know with time I will be more comfortable with it. I LOVE babywearing!!!
I like that you took lots of time to explain each step, but the baby’s positioning isn’t correct.
The seated position she should look like she would if she were in a bumbo. Her knees should be up higher than her butt, so if you pull on the bottom rail you can make a seat/pocket, then pull the top rail and middle snug until she can’t wiggle/sway.
thank you, very informative
The baby’s legs should not be dangling…it puts too much pressure on the spine. In traditional cultures, they will always put the baby in a position where the legs are above the hips.

try tying it tighter so tight you think the baby will be uncomfortable. He won’t the fabric stretches. My baby is 8mo and 25lbs I find when I tie it too loose then he feels like he is not supported.
Thanks a lot
You do a wonderful job of explaining this. Thank you.
My baby is 8 mos and 18 lbs. I need more support. Is there a way to adjust to wear a ring sling, baby sidesaddle that has more support between the legs?
Very useful – thank you!!!
great video and what an awesome nursery:) Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge/expertise!!
thank you soo much for posting this! I have been wanting to wear my baby and my sister sent me a ring sling she wasn’t using…I’ve been to nervous to try…but thanks to this video I’m doing it tomorrow!! Again thank you!!
Oh that sling is really pretty! Did you make that one or buy it?
Great video!! I love wearing my baby.
Thanks so much for responding! I think I might get both…that way I can let other moms see them too and encourage baby wearing. Let the chain reaction begin!
There are some stores that carry different slings. My best advice would be to make your own or buy used to save money. This way you could try them all with minimal expense.
As far as nursing, I would suggest the moby. My baby does NOT like her head covered at all so we only succeeded when she would let me.
My best bet has been to have both wraps based on need. For example, while I’m shopping, I prefer the ring sling. When doing things where I am more active, I prefer the moby.
This is great! I love all of your videos and how you use all the different ones you have to help educate other parents! Is the other sling you have- the denim one as easy to adjust (the tail part) as this one is? Also which is easier for nursing? I like the ones that you can do different positions, like the wraps, but I also like the grab and go ones like the slings. I’m trying to debate wich sling to get. I wish there was a place to go and try all the different types!!
the same here…. she starts crying, only if she’s asleep i can carry her in the sling. she’s 1 month old now, I use the cradle position. any help. pls?
Good little model you’ve got there. Very efficient!
How old is he?
Everytime I put my baby on the sling he starts crying, as if he doesnt enjoy it or I am doing it wrong …
What can I do to help?
Oh You make it look so easy ….
((
I can’t make it work
Really great video, by far the most accesible and helpful that I’ve seen! Perfect thanks!
Thank you so much for this info. This is by far the most helpful video I have watched!
Thank you so much for demonstrating with an actual baby instead of a doll like other sites, it makes it easier for someone who has never worn their baby before to see how its done!
