They are super comfy and warm, but they make it hard for a baby's legs to be in the proper "M" position you want when you are wearing them. </p> <p>You want the rings at corsage position on your chest, so right above where your breast is, down off your neck. For head support you can place a rolled up burp cloth or small blanket folded over in the top rail if you want. Many people find that comfy in the early days. Your second picture looks much better. You want the slack pulled out of the fabric along the whole length so there is even support. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-am-i-wearing-my-ring-sling-correctly#post-2373456 Mon, 30 Nov 2015 17:08:00 +0000 littlejoy 2373456@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That looks good! At his age, we were still doing a froggy type post with legs in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-am-i-wearing-my-ring-sling-correctly#post-2373454 Mon, 30 Nov 2015 17:05:48 +0000 littleredhairedgrl 2373454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>is this any better? </p> [attach=3559/15/nynepo.450x600.image.jpeg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-am-i-wearing-my-ring-sling-correctly#post-2373428 Mon, 30 Nov 2015 16:43:03 +0000 littleredhairedgrl 2373428@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rattles: thank you!!</p> <p>@catomd00: how do I make the seat deeper? I feel like I try and pull the bottom under him but can't grab much and if I do it just bunches under his butt which doesn't seem right. I feel like I could really only get a seat with a flexible fabric. not linen, but I know that's not right.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-am-i-wearing-my-ring-sling-correctly#post-2373268 Mon, 30 Nov 2015 15:05:19 +0000 rattles 2373268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Agreed re ring adjustment and pocket, but mostly I just wanted to say how cute he is and how nice your kitchen looks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-am-i-wearing-my-ring-sling-correctly#post-2373221 Mon, 30 Nov 2015 14:38:30 +0000 catomd00 2373221@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Looks good as far as baby and rings positioning, I'd try and pull it over your shoulder more - looks uncomfortable on your neck! Oh and looks like he could use a deeper seat! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-am-i-wearing-my-ring-sling-correctly#post-2373100 Mon, 30 Nov 2015 13:29:21 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2373100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@buttermilk: lift the baby by the bum and pull the fabric over your shoulder at the same time. It takes a little practice but will become second nature. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-am-i-wearing-my-ring-sling-correctly#post-2373089 Mon, 30 Nov 2015 13:24:34 +0000 littleredhairedgrl 2373089@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: thanks! I knew it felt weird near my neck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-am-i-wearing-my-ring-sling-correctly#post-2373080 Mon, 30 Nov 2015 13:19:45 +0000 buttermilk 2373080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PawPrints: @oliviaoblivia: I have similar issues with my ring sling. The rings always end up near my neck but the it seems impossible to get them back over my shoulder with baby already in. Any tips? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-am-i-wearing-my-ring-sling-correctly#post-2373051 Mon, 30 Nov 2015 13:07:37 +0000 PawPrints 2373051@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So sweet! I was also going to suggest spreading the fabric over your shoulder away from your neck to improve your comfort. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-am-i-wearing-my-ring-sling-correctly#post-2373031 Mon, 30 Nov 2015 13:00:13 +0000 CakeLady 2373031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No advice, I was never a pro at the ring sling, but this really makes me miss wearing a tiny baby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-am-i-wearing-my-ring-sling-correctly#post-2373027 Mon, 30 Nov 2015 12:59:15 +0000 LindsayLou 2373027@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Looks good to me! To tighten, it usually helps me to put one hand under baby's bottom and lift them up a bit, and tighten with the other hand. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-am-i-wearing-my-ring-sling-correctly#post-2373022 Mon, 30 Nov 2015 12:58:05 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2373022@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What a sweet little guy you have!</p> <p>Just a couple tips..<br /> If you pull the sling over your shoulder and away from your neck you'll be much more comfortable.<br /> You could try to get his seat a bit deeper. I like to imagine putting the baby into a ring sling like putting your boobs in a bra....bend a bit at the waist and make a seat and then straighten up to adjust. Does that make sense?<br /> Your mid rails could tighten up too, that'll help keep him straight and not slumped to the side.</p> <p>Keep at it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-am-i-wearing-my-ring-sling-correctly#post-2373014 Mon, 30 Nov 2015 12:53:58 +0000 littleredhairedgrl 2373014@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>just got a ring sling for lo2 and no idea if I'm doing this right. he's super comfortable but it's very hard to tighten while baby is in the sling. also am worried my seat isn't big enough and he will fall out. </p> [attach=3559/15/nyn31y.450x600.image.jpeg] [attach=3559/15/nyn31z.450x600.image.jpeg] [attach=3559/15/nyn320.450x600.image.jpeg]
