Baby K'tan Kangaroo Position
Take the inner loop and stretch it open to form a pocket-like seat for baby.
Adjust fabric on your shoulders so that it is comfortable.
Reach behind your back to slide support band down so that the loops cross at the center of your back (for optimal back support).
Spread the fabric of the outer loop over baby’s back and bottom. Make sure that the fabric does not cover your baby’s face.
Place your arm through the outer loop that is hanging at your waist, and pull it back up onto your shoulder.
Make sure baby is centered in the fabric with an equal amount of material on front and back of baby’s body.
Place baby upright (with knees tucked to tummy) in the pocket-like seat of the inner loop.
