What made me think of this is when my daughter had granddaughter in one baby carrier, her legs turned blue from poor circulation. |
they don't restrict leg movement at all, in fact its quite the opposite. I wouldn't suggest holding her in it all day but its great for short walks around, while your making dinner and to help her get some assistance bearing weight on her legs. Jess loved it and absolutely hated being smushed in a sling. I was also always afraid in a sling she could jump out at any time so I always had to have my hand over it and it kind of defeated the purpose for me. I felt much calmer knowing she was secure and couldnt jump out. In the end I think both options are good for different times. (we also used it in the pool when she was rehabbing. It gave her security and us the ability to let her move her legs around in the water and use the muscles without bearing weight..)
