Carrier harmful to baby?

Question

I'm a FTM  and I was given a carrier to wear my baby when I'm out or doing house work and I'm not sure if I want to use it. I have heard of it being harmful to the baby's  legs and hips and can cause problems later on. I'm just wondering if I should just pass on using it.

Answer

See the first pic, how bubs legs are just kinda hanging? This type is not great for bubs hips. But short infrequent uses are fine. The second pic is how bubs legs should idealy be positioned, you can use a wrap to acheive this one as well.

Answer

It's only harmful if you use it wrong. Do your research. YouTube is handy,

Answer

Depends on the carrier, I got myself a ergo carrier with an infant insert that makes sure the baby is sat in the correct form 👍🏽

Answer

As long as you use it properly then there are no problems. Theres actually alot of benifits from baby wearing, bonding time, getting stuff done around the house, baby feels safe, less crying, helps with head and neck muscles.
I used a baby carrier until my son was 16 months when i went to the grocery store, he would usually just fall asleep
