dh and i've noticed recently that we both hold DS on our left side more. don't know if that's our righthandedness related or if DS just prefers that side.
either way, my left shoulder is killing me today!

When she was a little baby, I would cradle her in my arms with her head always in the crook of my left elbow. Now that She is a big baby, I almost always hold her in my right arm b/c it is stronger, and she is *heavy*!

I don't have a baby yet but whenever I'm around babies I always carry them on my left hip or hold them with my left arm. It feels MUCH more comfortable to me, and I also think it's because I'm right handed. Hopefully once I have a baby of my own I can "learn" to carry him/her on my right side, too

Always on the right, even my husband who is a lefty. Our boy hates being carried on the left!

Left. Even though I'm left-handed, I do pretty much everything except write with my right hand. I try to carry her on the right when I remember so that my arms will get an equal workout

On the right mostly, but if that side gets tired I will switch.

I seem to only view things through the lens of pregnancy right now, so I was totally about to respond by saying that I can feel a bum on the right side of my belly. But now I realize that's not what you meant
Don't have my own baby yet (well, I do, but not outside of my belly!), but when I carry babies I tend toward my right hip. I'm right handed.

I carry on the right (and am right handed) and my husband carries on the left (he is a lefty). Funny that some people are the opposite! I figure I'm comfortable this way because I'm stronger/more confident with my right.

I'm right-handed and carry on the right typically. I have some pretty tight muscles on the left shoulder to compensate. I hate that feeling! I've been doing lots more back carries lately as I have been unilaterally sore.

I typically carry with my left and although I'm right-handed, I think it's also because my left arm is stronger. I do try to carry her in my right arm when I remember!

I carry kiddos on my left hip or cradle them with my left arm. I'm right handed. Carrying/cradling on the right feels weird!

I almost always carry her on my left side so I can use my right hand.

I also carry her on my left so my right hand is free (I'm right handed).

Always on the right and I am right handed. It feels weird to put him on the left, but do when my right side is tired!

Upright, always with my right.. I'm right handed.
When I bottle feed him I'll hold the bottle with my right.
When I hold him in cradle position, his head rests on my left arm.
