Sizing
For comfort and safety, it is important to get the proper size. The curve/seam of the sling should sit on or just above the hip bone. Generally , Z'fina slings fit slightly larger than conventional slings. A good rule of thumb is to go down a size from what is normally worn in a fitted t-shirt.

If the sling is too small, it will dig into baby's legs and is difficult to get him/her in and out. If the sling is too big, it feels as if baby is going to fall out.

To get the proper fit, use a soft measuring tape to get the measurement from the middle of the shoulder diagonally to the opposite hip bone in inches. Use the chart below to find the correct size:

How to put on your baby sling:

1.  Fold the sling in half length-wise, creating a pocket.
2.  With the pocket facing up, put your baby sling on like a sash by slipping your head and one  
     arm through the opening. Rest the sling on your opposite shoulder with the seam/curve just 
     above the hipbone.
3.  Ensure your sling is flat across your back and shoulder for proper weight distribution and
     maximum comfort.
4.  Your baby is ideally worn inside the pocket at the seam/curve near your center of gravity.

Baby Sling Positions:

Cradle position
is ideal for newborns and babies up to 6 months. this position is great for sleeping and nursing babies.

Hug-hold position is great for infants who like to be more upright, but still have the comfort of being comforted and cuddled.

I can see the world position is wonderful for babies with growing curiosities.

Hip-baby position is the most popular position , allowing you hands-free movement.

Piggy-back position gives you maximum hands-free movement while your child is safely tucked behind you.
