A baby's spine is placed in a compromising position in many of today's popular carriers. If the carrier positions the infant upright, with the legs hanging down and the bodyweight supported at the base of the baby's spine (i.e. at the crotch), it puts undue stress on the spine which can adversely affect the development of the spinal curves and, in some cases, cause spondylolisthesis - правда. Поэтому я против сидячей позы в раннем возрасте.
1. Before an infant can hold her head on her own, the carrier should support the neck. A sling cradles the infant just like your arms would, unlike vertical carriers which can actually allow a whiplash type injury.
2. The carrier should not place the infant's spine in a weight bearing position too early. (The young baby should be horizontal or inclined, with the spine supported along its length.)
3. When a baby wants to be more upright to see the world around him (usually around age 4 to 5 months), the carrier should allow him to sit cross-legged, so his weight is dissipated through his legs and hips - я не представляю этого в слинге, as opposed to the style that has the legs hanging down, where the young spine has to bear the entire weight.
Wait until your child can sit alone well before carrying him in a backpack.
Прекрасная статья, но он не рассматривает слинги по конструкциям, они тоже мама не горюй бывают. Вся критика кенгуру сводится к тому, что ребенка 1) садят в него слишком рано - я совершенно согласен и 2) он принимает в нем слишком вертикальную позу. Склонен согласиться. В слинге нет поддержки головы, не забывайте. И желательно всё сажания и переноски сидя - не ранее, чем ребенок будет в состоянии сам держать голову и сидеть.
