After a short while in the sling, my baby gets red marks on the backs of her legs – why?
A – It could be that your baby is not quite ready for an upright position. Stick with the Cradle hold until your baby can sit steadily. If she really wants to see out them she may enjoy the Kangaroo hold with her legs crossed in front of her. Alternatively, your sling may be slightly too big so you can do a ‘shoulder flip’ by pulling the top layer of fabric covering your shoulder and down over your upper arm. This will tighten the top seam of the Coorie. Also, ensure that your baby’s knees are higher than her bottom so that her weight is on her bottom rather than the back of her legs.
