Wearing your Baby Tummy to Tummy:

This is the position you will use for the longest period. Lower your
baby into the pouch with your baby's legs straddling your hip or
straight on facing you for the tummy to tummy. Your baby's butt should
rest on the inner edge of the pouch. Make sure the lower edge of
fabric is thoroughly covering baby's butt and thighs, with the lower
edge of binding in the crease of his knees. His calves and feet will
be sticking out of the bottom of the pouch. Then pull the upper edge
of fabric/binding up his back and under his arms. Some babies like the
fabric pulled over their shoulders-this works well for discrete
nursing. In order to keep pressure from the binding off of your baby's
legs, please ensure that your baby's butt is being worn several inches
below the crook of his knees. It also helps to "fold" the sling back
down over your shoulder. This helps keep the top rail tight and secure
around your baby (see picture). The only difference between the tummy
to tummy and the hip carry is the position of the baby on you.
