A good place to start when sizing for a baby sling, is with your fitted t-shirt size pre-pregnancy. Typically it will be the same as your sling size.
If you have a large chest, broad shoulders or have quite a long torso we do suggest sizing up on your baby sling.
Another easy method to sizing is to take your shoulder to hip measurement. Using a soft measuring tape, start at the outer edge of your shoulder and measure diagonally across your body to the top of your opposite hip bone. Use this measurement to determine your size in the sizing chart above.
If you are pregnant and showing, you may measure across your back instead. Keep in mind your bust size when doing this, and size up for larger than average breasts.
If you are in-between sizes, we suggest you size down.
Your sling is too small if it feels uncomfortably tight, particularly on your shoulder when the baby is in the sling. If it is extremely difficult to get your baby in and out of the sling, it may be to small as well.
Your sling is too big if it slips off your shoulder, or your baby doesn't feel secure.
In a baby sling that fits correctly the lowest part of the sling should hit anywhere from at the naval to 2 inches below. If you feel your baby is sitting to low or high, please contact us to exchange for a different size at info@modmum.com.
