How to choose the right size

The right size for the loop is the length from the shoulder to under the armpit while relaxed (basic starting position).
The baby must be as close as possible to the body of the adult for maximum support while carrying the baby.
The right positioning of the baby when using the carrier is the area between the chest and above the belly button.
At first it might feel a bit crowded, but after a short while and use, the carrier will fit itself to the right dimensions and will give the baby the feel similar to being in the womb.

Basic starting position

1. Both loops on the hip
2. Leave one slipknot on the hip, the second one diagonally from the shoulder towards the armpit.

Breastfeeding / hammock position

This position can be used from birth
From the basic starting position, hold the baby with one arm towards your shoulder (fig. 1)
With your other hand hold 2/3 of the diagonal loop, move it away from the body and place the baby inside it when the bottom of the baby is placed first and the head is positioned towards the shoulder of the adult (fig. 2)
Fold the access fabric to create extra support for the baby's head (fig. 3)
Raise the end of the fabric of the other loop from the waist towards the shoulder like you put on a blouse strap in order to wrap the baby and to give extra support (fig. 4)
Raise the other end of the second loop in order to create a fold around the height of the armpit (fig. 5,6)
Spread the sash using the wide part on the cradled baby's body, and cross the sash on the back of the adult (fig. 7)
Bring the sash ends back in front and create a double knot under the baby's body (fig. 8)

Face to Parent position

This position can be used from birth
From the basic starting position hold the baby in one hand at chest height (fig. 1)
Using the other hand bring up one end of a loop to the shoulder, like a blouse strap (fig. 2)
Wrap the baby completely with the loop - including the legs with small babies (fig. 3)
Bring up the other end of the same loop in order to get a fold at arm pit height (fig. 4)
This fold creates an additional safety latch of the baby to the adults body (fig. 5)
Bring up the other slipknot (fig. 6)
Perform the same action with the other loop towards the other shoulder (fig. 7,8)
Spread the sash using the wide part on the baby's body, and cross the sash on the back of the adult. Bring the sash ends back in front and create a double knot under the baby's body (fig. 9)

Face to Parent for a mature baby or toddler position

As the baby grows so will his legs start to dangle from the junction that is creates by both slipknots around the baby's bottom.
Starting at the basic starting position (fig. 1)
Bring up one loop towards the shoulder like a blouse strap as its going in between the baby's legs and gives support to the baby's bottom and back (fig. 2)
Bring up the other loop in the same fashion (fig. 3,4)
Spread the sash using the wide part on the baby's body (fig. 5)
Cross the sash on the back of the adult (fig. 6)
Bring the sash ends back in front and create a double knot under the baby's body (fig. 7)

On the Waist position

This position is suitable for sitting babies
Starting at the basic starting position,
Bring the loop above the toddler's head and position the baby on the waist so the slipknots creates a kind of a pocket for the toddler to sit in (fig. 1)
Bring up the second loop towards the opposite shoulder so that it will pass between the legs of the toddler creating a sort of safety hold (fig. 2,3)
