Petikan:
"And if children are carried sitting upright with their legs spread and strongly drawn up, the parents are also "practicing "--quite coincidentally--prevention of so-called innate hip dysplasia. This requires, however, that the baby's thighs be drawn up at least to a right angle; it's better if it's even more.
This requires, however, that the baby's thighs be drawn up at least to a right angle; it's better if it's even more. Then tithe baby is sitting on the parent's hip or is carried face to face, the baby has a leg position that is ideal for the healthy maturation of the hip joint. If the legs are bent more than 90[degrees] (about 100[degrees] to 110[degrees]) and spread approximately 90[degrees], the femur head fits ideally in the hip socket. This favors its healthy development.

Moreover, the body posture of the baby is not stationary. Through the movements of the parent as well as those of the baby, a constant stimulus is transferred to the child's hip joint, which promotes circulation to the still-cartilaginous structures and supports their maturation. All in all, this way of carrying is an appropriate way to prevent hip dysplasia."

NOTE: which is why I always stress.... knees always above bum!!...
