BABY CARRIERS SIZING:
How does the sizing apply for the LUCKY BABY slings?
The Lucky Baby slings come in S, M and L - this goes by the size of the wearer and not the baby! Detailed instructions on how to use the sling and the benefits of baby wearing in a sling can be found here: SLING INSTRUCTIONS.pdf This guide also comes with every purchase of the sling.

HELPFUL HINTS FOR SIZING:
- Most women wear the same size sling as they do a fitted t-shirt. It’s not an exact way to pick a size but it’s a great place to start.
- Women who are a D cup or above prior to nursing should order a sling that is one size larger since the sling comes right across the chest.
- The slings will shrink approximately 1 inch when washed and dried on medium high heat. We have already taken this into consideration and have sized up the slings slightly to account for this.
Did I order the wrong size?
TOO TIGHT: If the sling is several inches above your hip bone and feels very tight, then you need to exchange it for the next size larger.
TOO LOOSE: If the sling is several inches below your hip bone and feels too loose then you need to exchange it for the next size smaller. Keep in mind, however, that you can shrink the sling by 1" by washing it with like colors on cold and then drying it on medium high heat in the dryer. If the sling feels only slightly too big, then wash it and dry it and try again.
