Baby Sling Sizing Information
Measure from shoulder to opposite hip. Usually, your size is the measurement from the middle of your shoulder bone to the top of your opposite hip bone. Slinglings pouch slings are sized 22-30 inches, this is the measurement along the top "rail".
Most women wear a size 23, 24, 25 or 26. Most men will wear a 26 or 27. The fold to the deepest part of the pouch is 3 inches longer than the top rail. So, a size 24 sling would be 24 inches long on the opening and 27 inches long on the fold.
You willl probably be able to wear more than one size of sling, it is a matter of preference which one you will be more comfortable in. Some people like to wear their baby higher or tighter, other people like their baby lower or looser.
Special Note: Your baby should be carried near your center of gravity. The curve of the sling should reach just below your naval when the baby is in it. The sling should be spread out flat across your back and over your shoulder. It should not dig into your neck or slide off of your shoulder.
