Ring Slings - Zolowear - What if my baby is fussy?
- Fussy baby? Get moving! Put the sling on and go for a walk, or vacuum or dust the house.
- Try a different position. Some babies don't like the cradle hold, so try the tummy to tummy hold. A baby who can hold her head up might prefer to face out in the kangaroo hold (legs crossed). Move around until you're both comfortable.
- Take a break and try again later. Try at times when both you and baby are well rested and fed. OK, as well rested as you can get these days! Keep trying!
- Believe in yourself. Baby can often sense the parent's lack of confidence when first using the sling. Sometimes babies who “hate the sling” actually love it (and fall fast asleep)when carried by an experienced sling-user. So keep practicing!
