Using Your Sling

The design of the UpMama! sling does reduce the learning curve, but it will still take practice to become an expert "babywearer". The first few times you put a diaper on your baby or gave her a bath was probably a little awkward too. Baby slings are the same, it often takes several tries to get it exactly right so the more you practice the better!

Before you start please take a moment to carefully read our safety guidelines (click here)
