Tips
and Tricks to Successful Wearing of the Goo-Ga Peanut Shell Baby
Sling
Nursing or Sleeping Babies
To nurse, slide your baby close
to the breast that you will nurse with. Pull the inside carrier
fabric down to expose your breast and help your baby latch on.
Smaller babies (or while you are getting the hang of it) will still
probably need the support from one of your arms. For more private
nursing or sleeping, place your baby towards the inside of the wide
strip of fabric so that the outside fabric covers your baby and
breast.
Sling fitting too large
Correct Shoulder Placement
Notice how Peanut Shell™ is evenly spread
across the shoulder. Be sure that you have the fabric pulled
up enough over your shoulder (as in the picture). It should
not be falling down your arm.
If baby seems to be leaning a bit too far back,
you can do a shoulder flip (as seen here)Also please look at
how deep into the pouch the baby is sitting. This is very
important so that the weight is not on the baby’s legs. Create
a deep seat in the pouch and be sure to pull the fabric all
the way up to the back of baby’s knees.
Creating a Deep Seat
Please look at how deep into the pouch the baby
is sitting. This is very important so that the weight is not
on the baby’s legs. Create a deep seat in the pouch and be
sure to pull the fabric all the way up to the back of baby’s
knees.
Keep Pouch from Sliding
If you find that the pouch slides
slowly off the shoulder easily down their arm we have a few tips to
help. To prevent this, try narrowing the fabric by folding the
outside edge of the Peanut Shell™ over (in half again). This helps
the fabric from scooting down your arm. Wearing a cotton shirt or
other less slippery fabrics also helps to prevent this.
Taking Baby Out of Cradle Carry
There are several ways to
take baby out of the cradle carry here is one
suggestion.
Pull fabric away from baby’s head
Lift her up with one arm
Now she is released from the sling and you can
lift her out
Taking Baby Out of Tummy to Tummy
Hold baby with both arms (after pulling the
fabric down a bit off his back)
Lift him straight up...
and out of the Peanut Shell™
