My baby is very small only 5 lbs, is she too little for the sling?

Not at all! Brand new babies under 8 lbs need a little extra support, especially if they seem to be sitting deep in your pouch. To help bring them up closer to you, fold up a small cotton receiving blanket and place it in the sling where the baby's back will be. Place the baby in as usual with the blanket behind her, making sure the blanket's not behind her head, and she will be propped up. Remember, babies like being close. They've been that way for months! She'll be snug as a bug and ready to hug.
