Imitates time in the womb. Best for newborns and smaller babies.
Place pouch seam in line with belly button.Cradle baby with one hand.
Open pouch with your other hand.
Place baby’s bottom in the pouch first.
When baby's bottom is securely in and baby is comfortable, gently place baby's head in.
You can also nurse discreetly by pulling the fabric that lies against your breast aside, with the outer fabric still covering baby’s head.
Variation:
Baby's head can also be positioned on the opposite shoulder (from the one you are wearing your Peek-a-Pouch with) to give more room. Please note that this requires the babywearer to support the baby's head with his/her hand.

Please note: NOT ALL BABIES like the cradle position as they might feel hot/constricted. If your baby is one who does not even like being cradled with bare hands (i.e. without a carrier), they usually will not like being cradled in a pouch, too! i.e. Carriers are to imitate the comfort of hand carry so if baby likes to be in the sitting position when you carry them with your hands, try to do that with your Peek-a-Pouch, too ;)
