Hip healthy baby carriers

Katherine8908 · January 2016

So STM here with a son that has been diagnosed with bilateral hip dysplasia. Since most of us are shopping and doing registries I thought this would be a good time to bring some awareness to baby carriers that I previously did not have as a FTM.
Please choose a carrier that properly supports your babies legs rather than the latter that let them just hang.
while I dont believe you can actually cause hip dysplasia this can prevent an already existing issue from becoming worse and why take the chance.

If you have never heard of hip dysplasia (I didn't until my son was diagnosed) here is a fact sheet about it

Yes! No crotch danglers!

It is true that it does not cause it but for those that may have already have them, they can be made ergonomic with a scarf. There are also baby wearing Facebook groups as well as local meetings for baby wearing assistance.

The ergonomic carriers are also much easier on the parents' body, specifically the back. We had a crotch dangler with our first and it killed my lower back! Luckily I quickly discovered Mei Tai carriers, and ditched the Baby Bjorn.
