If you are in a hurry... If you follow the advice and safety rules in the instructions, this is impossible. The sling and the baby carrier hold your baby under your buttocks, between your legs, on your back, shoulders and neck. This fear stems from a lack of knowledge about baby slings. Parents will gradually gain confidence in this technique as they become more familiar with this tool.

When your baby is in the Double Back Hammock and has fallen asleep, you can cover his or her head with the strap on the side where it leans. To do this, grasp the top edge of the strap as close to your child's head as possible. Pull it up to release some of the fabric. Slip the excess over Baby's head (over his hair, not his face).

After you've installed your sling, whether it's the No Knot Little Wrap or the No Knot Woven Wrap, you may have some excess fabric “hanging out”. Good news, it can have other uses!

It is sometimes difficult to get the back of a very toned baby to roll up. The cloth should roll around the buttocks, thighs and down to the knees (like when you tuck a mattress into the sheet).

What should I do?
