When carrying your little one on your hip, do they help holding on at all? If so, when did they learn? My daughter is 12 months and she does not help at all. She makes it really difficult at times and it is getting even harder as she gets heavier Why won't she just hold on with her legs just a little. For example, if I have to carry her, the diaper bag and the grocery cover, we look like a mess and sometimes she will just be dangling from my arm.
