Azriel at 2 days old vs 11 weeks old. since the beginning he's been so well in his cradleboard. he puts himself right to sleep once I lace him up. or if he's not tired he just chills and watches his surroundings. and at this point, he can sleep the longest when he's in the board. I love that I can carry on these traditions and that Azriel loves it too!

It's not so much about it being because it's wrong or anything, just facts. It's similar with baby carriers. Specialists have found that carriers with the narrow crotch can cause hip issues because it goes against the natural way that the hips work. Carriers like the ergo that allow baby to be carried in a more seated position are better for the hips. Of course most babies are fine either way, but it increases the risk. I still think that it's nice to see traditions passed down to generations. I have so many different cultural backgrounds and i wish i knew some of the traditions of my ancestors.

@arivera64, that's not true. I've seen children in my family & community cradleboarding since I can remember and all of those kids grew up perfectly healthy and no hip problems. there's always going to be someone who has to find something wrong with what we do, but that doesn't mean they're right. lol

Cool. I just kind of googled it a little. I did read that it's linked to hip dysplasia as a downside....but it's an interesting backstory. I enjoy learning about different cultures and traditions

Just a question. I don't believe in swaddling babies that's why I asked...
