Correct sizing for Slings by Petunia® is essential for the comfort and safety of both mom and baby. If you have a PPB sling that is too big your baby will not feel secure and you will risk back and shoulder pain. If your PPB sling is too small you probably won’t be able to get your baby in or will feel like you can’t breathe. Slings by Petunia® are designed to fit snug but not too snug. The Sling by Petunia® is designed to fit the person wearing it. Use this size chart to help determine the proper size.
To find the above measurements, use a soft measuring tape to measure the distance from one shoulder to the opposite hip bone by measuring diagonally across your body. For the above chest measurement, measure the full circumference just
under your armpits and
above (not over) the fullest part of your bust. Men sizing follows the same guidelines.
How will you know you have the proper size sling?With your baby inside the sling, the lowest part of the baby’s body should be hitting you right at your hip bone or slightly above. If the sling is riding below your hip, your sling is too big. The sling should fit snuggly with baby inside but if you feel uncomfortable wearing it with baby because it feels too tight, your sling is too small. You want the sling to be snug but not too snug.
