Front carriers with baby facing forwards - safe or not?
I saw a mother today with one on - her baby (maybe 5-7 months) was on her front - facing forwards - I think it was a Baby Bjorn type carrier.
It seemed odd to me, I only use slings and back/front carriers that have my daughter facing in towards my body.
Is it safe for the baby's hips/body to be carried in that position?
Well, technically they are 'safe'. But are they ideal, or posturally healthy?
Hell no.
They are unhealthy not only for baby's pelvis and hips but for mami's spine and shoulders.
Stick with the slings, wraps of any kind and mai teis- they've been around and worked since women carried babies-forever- for a reason.-
It's funny, I've put them on- both the 'snuggli' and 'baby bjorn', and my mexican rebozos- which are esentially long shawls (really- it's a multi-purpose shawl/blanket/Baby Carrier) are far more comfortable for myself and my kids.
I always feel a little sorry for those kids dangling face-out from those structured, unnatural devices, especially when my own are cuddled up in a soft wrap, half asleep, sitting buddha style in front of me facing out, or on my back watching the world with one cheek to my shoulder, and the 'bjorn/snugli even the ergo babies' are just...dangling. They're just so...inorganic. unnatural. not to mention, ugly.
