Dragons On Red Fleece Pouch Baby Sling, Size 1

Description

This super soft fleece is machine washable (cold wash, tumble dry), and pre-shrunk. Fleece pouches tend to be more stretchy than cotton slings, so it's a good idea to order a size down from your usual size. Fleece pouches are so versatile, I used the *same* fleece pouch to carry Drew from about four months old until he was nearly 50 lbs! The pouch seam is triple reinforced; many people carry their babies from birth up to 35 pounds or more. Inspect your sling regularly to ensure good condition; I choose high-quality fabrics and take care with sewing them, but please be responsible when using a sling.

This sling is a size 1. To figure out which size to buy, please take a soft measuring tape or long scarf and loosely measure (not too loose, not too tight) the distance from the outer part of your shoulder to your opposite hip, about level with where your baby's bum sits when you're holding him or her on your hip (sans sling!). See picture above for how to measure. Then, find your size on the following chart (remember, with fleece go at least a size down, larger sizes may want to go down two sizes):

Size 0: 22.5-23 inches
Size 1: 23.5-24 inches
Size 2: 24.5-25 inches
Size 3: 25.5-26 inches
Size 4: 26.6-27 inches
Size 5: 27.5-28 inches
Size 6: 28.5-29 inches

As a reference point, a size 3 sling is what I would call a “medium” – i.e. for a woman of average height and average bust size. Sling sizing is an inexact science at best! If you are tall or busty or broad-shouldered, you’ll likely be on the higher end of the sizing chart. If you need help figuring out what size to buy, please contact me, as I am happy to help! If you need a size larger than 6, that’s fine too, just let me know.

I sew these slings myself while my boy naps or plays nearby; I am proud of my work, I am a strong proponent of babywearing, and I want you to be happy with your purchase! Please contact me if you have more questions regarding my slings. We have a smoke-free home.

I accept returns of slings in their original condition. My return policy is to work with you to make it right; if it is a sizing problem and I have more of the fabric, I will make another sling for you or refund the purchase price.

Thank you for looking, and please take a moment to check out my other slings, or contact me and we'll design one for you, together!
