Q: I am having trouble getting used to my Baby ‘Roo sling, what should I do?
Contact me, if you are in the Sioux Falls area I will meet with you to help you get adjusted to babywearing. If you are from a different area, see if you can find a local baby-wearer to help you with your sling. www.thebabywearer.com is a great resource for finding local help. Also check out our TROUBLESHOOTING guide.
Q: I want to pick out my own fabric, what do I need to get?
I suggest natural fiber fabric because they breathe and are generally the most comfortable. You will need to purchase 2&1/2 yards of fabric. If you would like an accent on the tail of your sling, you will also need 3/4 yards of the coordinating fabric you would like to use. Light to medium fabrics work the best, as heavy fabrics get very warm when you are wearing your baby and are more difficult to adjust.
Please contact me prior to shipping your fabric for additional information.
