Can't get DD in her peanut shell!

Was so excited to get my peanut shell sling in the mail today. But I've just tried it out and I can't get DD in there! I don't know what I am doing wrong, but it just doesn't seem to open up enough for me to get her in there and ends up in her getting upset and screaming.

I don't the sling is too small, I'm only short (about 157 cm) and I was 55kg pre-DD but don't think I would be anymore than 65kg now. I got a small size, maybe i should have got a medium??

Any help or tips to get her in would be great, I don't want the sling to be a giant waste of money and would really love to use it!

not sure but there are heaps of sling experts, i'm sure you will get some help soon.

There is an awesome tutorial on Youtube if you search for it, shows you exactly what to do.

HTH.

Ss - I'm having the same problem with my Jazsling (also a sized sling) and I wonder if I got a too small size.

So Arimeh - I'm off to google your youtube suggestion thanks!

I am having the same problem as well!! I am about the same height and weight as you, but I got a medium and I was wondering if mine was too big.

I have watched the Youtube clip about a million times, and I just dont find it explains it well enough. I have only managed to get him in it once where he actually looked comfortable and he didnt scream.

Now he is a little older I have tried doing the front facing position, and he seems much happier when he is in it like that (although not for very long) But I am yet to venture out of the house with him in it yet.

Any tips would be great!

Hey i got the peanut shell sling too, i am only 155cm and about 66kg... i ahve the medium size and i can JUST fit DD in there i wouldnt want it to be any smaller....

HTH

Hi I am 5 foot 8, not petite and bought a large one from the shop but after watching the vid realised it was too big so went onto the ps website and ordered a med which is so much better. After i fold and put it on I lower dds legs and bum in first putting her bum in line with he pocket. i keep the shoulder part quite tight so her little head doesnt get swallowed up and can poke out the top kwim... if you want pm me and ill put some pics on fb so you can see how she sits

cheers,
