Wearing your baby on your hip (4+ months):

This is the position you will use for the longest period (approx. 2-3 years or for however long your child wants to be carried). Once your baby has good head control (between 4-6 months and up) you can wear your baby on your hip. Put the pouch on with the inner serged seam on the right side of your body and the snaps just behind your shoulder. Lower your baby into the pouch with your baby’s legs straddling your hip. Your baby’s butt should rest on the inner serged seam. 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, too. 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.
