TROUBLESHOOTING
|
|
*MOST COMMON PROBLEM :
Sling digs into shoulder/chest
Problem: Sling DIGS INTO SHOULDER/CHEST.
Solution: This is easily fixable and will make your sling go from feeling like a pair of too-tight high heels to feeling like your most comfortable sneakers. Loosen only top row of Aplix (velcro) a few inches. |
|
Sling falls off your shoulder
Problem: Sling FALLS OFF SHOULDER.
Solution: Tighten only top row of Aplix (velcro) a few inches. |
|
Aplix (velcro) is showing
Problem: APLIX (velcro) SHOWING, leg padding showing.
Solution: Your sling is on inside out. Flip your sling right side out, so that the Mamma's Milk tag is showing and everything else is invisible.
