- If the sling seems too tight with baby in it, you may have too small of a sling.
- If the baby doesn't seem secure against you, you may have too big of a sling.
This happened to me after the baby was born due to the fact that I was lucky enough to lose all the baby weight and then some shortly after birth. (I know - I am so lucky) there are a couple of things you can do here.
1. buy a smaller sling. (I may be able to shorten your sling by cutting and resewing that seam)
2. try a shoulder flip. This is a technique where you simply flip the fabric at the shoulder which will tighten up the fit of the sling a bit. I used it quite a bit when Coral was smaller, but now that she is a larger toddler and my weight has readjusted and the sling fits again, I don't need to use the flip quite so much.
This allows the fabric to tighten up around your child, making them more secure
