Breastfeeding Using Rebozo Sling


  1. Sit Crossed legged, and drape the rebozo across your lap
  2. Lay the baby, on top of the rebozo, between your knees, facing up to you.She should be in the centre of the rebozo, with her head slightly higher than her feet, as tilted slightly towards your breast.
  3. Bring the wide ends of the rebozo, up around the baby, creating a snug little pouch.
  4. Throw the end of the rebozo that’s behind the baby’s head, over your shoulder. Bring the end that’s at her feet, around your waist.
  5. Gently cradle your infant with your knees, and chest, and secure the ends of the rebozo behind your back (you might want a partner to help you with this until you get used to the manouver)
  6. Make sure there’s no slack around the baby, and that they can breathe comfortably, before tying the knot.
  7. Tie the long ends of the rebozo in a square knot

You now ought to be able to breastfeed comfortably with your baby in the sling.
