Feeding Support... D
Please note that this should only be used when seated for breastfeeding and not as a carrying
position
Put the carrier on repeating steps Fig A.1 to A.4 …bear in mind the straps may need to be a little
looser than in the upright position to get baby in.
Fig D.1 - Always check if you have left 12- 14 cm space between you and the carrier.
Fig D.2 - Leave the inner strap where it is and slide the outer strap down off the shoulder.
Fig D.3 - Create a hammock with the inner strap…keeping one edge of fabric next to your neck,
pull the opposite edge down and then fold it back up onto the shoulder.
Fig D.4 - Pick up baby and support them with one hand high over the free shoulder, take hold of
the outer edge of the hammock with your free hand to make room for baby.
Fig D.5 - Lower baby down into the hammock area bottom first (making sure their bottom sits in
the deepest part) ...lay baby back across you…using your free hand check there is ample fabric
on both the top and bottom rails of the hammock along the length of their body.
NOTE - When breast feeding your baby you can tilt them towards you by placing baby’s arm
closest to you down a little, resting around your waist.
Fig D.6 - D.8 - When you have baby in the correct position pull the outer strap back up over your
shoulder whilst spreading lower fabric out to support baby. Make sure baby’s feet are away
from the rings then tighten and tie. Please note that this is a seated position for nursing only,
