A little debate for you all…
Do you stop someone and say something when you see unsafe babywearing?
When out and about I often see people and often the phrase ‘where’s the baby’ comes to mind as they are hidden so low down. This example I’ve given here is actually nowhere near as problematic as what I often see.
Always make sure babies airways are clear - with no pressure on the back of their head. Both good positioning and a well fitted carrier can help provide head support…. Without anything going past their earlobe.
Would I ever stop someone to tell them this position is a suffocation risk? No.
If the situation allows me to open a conversation in a non judgemental way then I sometimes ask ‘Are you open to a suggestion that might make that more comfortable for you both?’.
Before talking about what I do and all the tips I’ve learnt… hopefully leading into reminding key safety checks.
But would I just stop someone walking past? No.
