Snuggler Hold is the way most people tend to hold a baby.This is how Teddy will be supported in the sling at the end.Before I picked him up I pulled up the inner edge of the sling to make a 45 degree hammock (see "Putting On")


Holding the baby well flexed, feet up out of the way, aim his bottom for the lowest point of the hammock you formed. As a guide, the top of his head should be approximately level with the end of the padding. The right hand is holding out the hammock.

Make sure he is deep in the pocket of material. Pull it up a bit at the front.Feet still up out of the way. Once he is positioned the feet will be able to stretch out a bit.
Now he's in, but not tightened up yet. . Wiggle out the arm in the sling while supporting him with the other arm.

Check there is material under and in front of him. You can lean forward slightly to adjust the inner edge of the hammock.
As you prepare to tighten up, tilt the baby towards the shoulder opposite the rings. This will ensure he is correctly positioned in the swathe of cloth after tightening.

Draw on the strap to tighten. Look out for long haired babies that the hair doesn't get tangled. If the baby's bottom is not sufficently deep in the hammock you will find at this stage that his head is too near the rings as you tighten. Simply shunt him along the sling if you need to.
Very well snuggled. This postition will gradually become more open as the baby gains head control. That is he will sit up more in the sling, his head will peep out more. In fact it will evolve into the Little Buddha position.
