We have cut your sling slightly longer to account for the natural shrinkage that will happen with the first wash.
Which size is for you will depend on a number of factors: which tying method you are using, you and your baby’s sizes, and whether you prefer swishy ‘tails’ or a neat knot. Most people find that a size 6 is suitable for most tying methods, including 3 layer back and front carries. If you are petite or wish to use a carry with a single layer a shorter wrap might suit you better. If you are larger or would like some ‘tail swish’, then a bigger size may suit you better. We recommend you visit your local sling lending library or babywearing consultant to try a size out before you buy if you are unsure of the size you want. You can find a local sling lending library
