Q about ring sling

I just got my first ring sling and I love it (SBD)

However, when my LO is in it (Kangaroo) it seems like his feet are near his chest. Is this right or am I doing it wrong?

Also, what is a good carry for when he falls asleep?

Thanks!

    I'm not a fan of front facing carries for the wearer or the wearee, it's not ergonomic and tends to force babies back to curl the wrong way.  I can't really offer any pointers other than to watch how you "load" the baby, his knees shouldn't be up that high.

    We used (and even still use) the tummy to tummy hold almost exclusively.  If you bring the fabric up behind LO's head with his head sideways it's great for sleeping.  https://zolowear.com/WearingSnuggle.aspx

    I love Zolowear's ring sling instructions here: https://zolowear.com/Wearing.aspx

    Yea, I understand not wanting to do forward facing, but he'll cry if he doesn't face out.

    If he's happy then I wouldn't worry about it his feet being up.  You don't want him sitting on his feet/legs, though.

    How does he like being held otherwise?  If he'll sleep upright in you arms, then try tummy-to-tummy.
