This is almost to much to believe, but there is a mom on PGAP who has been told
by a pediatric nurse that slings cause babies to grow inappropriately. I told
her my opinion of this and asked if I could post to lactnet so she could get
some other professional opinions. She is [log in to unmask] in case you want to
answer her directly. I'd also like to see your [log in to unmask] is my
home E mail.
Thanks, Susan
We plan on using a sling, but someone sent me this bit of info and I
wondered how much truth there is in it because I noticed Brenna's head is
always at an angle in it. Comments welcome!
