The most important key to successful use of the Peanut Shell® baby sling is to first get the right size. Keep in mind that the even with all of our guidance the "correct" size is what safely works for you and your baby. Most people can wear 2 different sizes-as you can in clothes. There are many factors that affect sizing so don't hesitate to email us prior to ordering to let us help you find the size that will work best for you and your baby. If you have a Peanut Shell® that is too big your baby will not feel secure and will ride too low on your body (lower than your hip bones). This is not only unsafe for your child but may also lead to back and/or shoulder discomfort. If the sling is too small you won't even be able to get the baby in or will feel like you can't breathe. Keep in mind that the correct fit of the Peanut Shell® baby sling should feel snug with baby inside BUT you should be comfortable. If you are new to sling wearing with the correct snug fit you may even think it is too small. Please use the information provided on this page to help you pick the correct size.
