Lay your
DIDYMOS
sling
over your shoulders so that
there is a loop behind your
back (reaching down to your
waist) …
2
… and so that one
sling end is about 30 cm
longer than the other.
Now cross the longer
end over the shorter one,
…
3
… lead it to your back
…
4
... and pull it through
the loop on your back.
5
Take the shorter sling
end and …
6
… tie both ends
together at your side
with a flat reef knot or an
adjustable sailor’s knot.
7
Take the fabric cross
with both hands and pull
it down.
8
Lean your baby against
your shoulder supporting
baby with one hand and,
with your free hand, pull
baby’s leg out through one
of the fabric straps.
9
Now change shoulders
and do the same with
the other leg through the
other fabric strap.
10
Hold your baby securely
until you have stretched the
fabric over its back.
11
First the inner fabric
width, then the outer one
each of them reaching
from one back of baby’s
knees to the other.
12
Check if your baby
is sitting closely snug
against your body –
otherwise adjust the knot
to be tighter.
13
Either spread the fabric
widely over your child‘s
back up to the neck or, if
the child is older, leave
both arms free.
