Very upset! Bought a Tula for my 8-month old and showed my mother-in-law. However, she told me such ergonomic carriers are not good for babies' development, and will cause their bones at the hip area to grow outwards and affect their walking next time. She forbids me to put her on the carrier and says a good carrier should make sure that the legs are as closed as possible. Told her the "M" shape was from the babywearing consultants and she said that the consultants are out to earn people's money and will not take any responsibility if the baby does not develop well. How?

It is normal to be approached by people who comments like this even from our own family members. Take it as a pinch of salt. They are concerned thus they intervened. However, spoken to a Physiotherapist before, M shape seating is ergonomic for infants and up. The link from Geraldine is valid too. Researched upon. Pat Pat... Edited on 27.12.17: I am a certified Babywearing Educator now and is even more sure how this can help our children achieve ideal hip development. We are not here to cheat people money but here to educate them with the right knowledge and equip parents with skills they needed.
