What size baby sling do I need?
Sweet Fletcher slings are designed to carry children from birth through the toddler years. The size of the sling is determined by the size of the adult who will be wearing it, not by the size of the baby. For safe and comfortable carrying of your child, it is important to wear a properly sized sling. Sizes are based on a combination of height and build - if you have a particularly long or short torso for your height, please order a size up or down accordingly. Sling sizes are similar to a fitted shirt.

Wear your Sweet Fletcher sling across your body like a sash, crossing from one shoulder to the opposite hip. The curved seam of the sling should be placed near your hip or navel, pointing down. In order to keep your baby securely in place, your sling should be somewhat close fitting but not uncomfortable. A properly fitting sling will fall somewhere mid-torso: if your sling falls below your hip it is too large and if it is up under your arms it is too small. Sweet Fletcher slings are made of high quality 100% cotton fabric and may shrink slightly when laundered.
