I always seem to carry on my left, but wow, as baby gets heavier (18lbs+), I am starting to notice that I'm sore on that side. Probably need to start lifting weights or switching sides more often.
Do you prefer one side over the other? Which one?
-
I tend to carry her on my left too. I think I do switch sides without thinking sometimes but my back is still sore!
-
Mostly the left, but I switch out.
-
Always my left!
-
Always the left!
I think I remember reading somewhere that we default instinctually to the left because it keeps the baby closer to your heart, which is a soothing sound for newborns. I have no idea if it's true, but it's a sweet thought!
-
My right side, I always carry kiddos on my right!
-
Usually on my left.
-
I default to my right side as it is my stronger arm.
-
Left, but I try to mix it up now that she's getting heavy.
-
Default to my left so I can do things with my right hand.
-
RIGHT! It feels awkward to carry her on my left.
-
I'm right handed so thats my stronger arm and I use that side to carry her most often
-
Almost always the left so I have my dominant hand available.
-
Usually on my right but I try to switch back and forth.
-
Left hip most of the time. I'm trying to remember to switch it up.
-
Right side most of the time.
-
I always carry on my left so that I can have my dominant right to do things like cook.. I have tried to switch it up but just don't feel as stable, so I have just resigned myself to be "lopsided" in my biceps
