SBP Sling - does this look right? (PsIP)

Does LO look like she is positioned correctly? I feel okay about it, and she zonked out within 10 minutes, so I assume she was comfy.... Any thoughts? Tips? Suggestions?

LO is 7 weeks old, pretty good head control. She is a healthy kid - was almost 12 lbs at 6 weeks (EBF), so the Moby was getting heavy and she was slipping down a lot if I wore it too long.

(excuse the messy bathroom, lack of makeup and crazy hair, lol. Not my shining moment in the looks department)

    It looks like you have it spread over your shoulder, which is good.  I might try to froggie her a bit more -- looks like her toes are pointed! :) -- but if she's comfortable, then that's fine too.

    My only real suggestion is to try to have the material pulled up higher on her back.  It will make you both feel more secure.  The pocket that she's in only needs to be deep enough to hold her.  The top rail (on her back) should be higher than the bottom rail (against you), so it's kind of shaped more like a "J' than a "U".  HTH!

     

    ETA:  Making the material higher will also give her a little nest to snuggle in.  Even at 7 months, my DS likes to be tucked arms in when he's tired or over-stimulated.

    That makes a lot of sense, thank you! I thought it was a bit low on her back, I will have to practice making it higher on that side than the side against me. She had one leg froggie, the other was pointed, but she ended up froggie-ing it up a little later. I need to practice helping her do that too! :) Appreciate the thoughts!!!

    So sweet!!!  And I agree with PP...the material should be pulled up higher on her back.  Other than that, she looks comfy cozy.

    I agree with the pps about bringing the fabric up higher. Otherwise looks great.

    Which fabric did your order from SBP? I love that blue color!
