To have felt a bit scared for this newborn

[StripeyDogs]

Was in busy supermarket this afternoon.
Lots of kids/trolleys/shelf stackers etc.
There was a couple walking about, mum with trolley & dad with the teeniest of newborns I have seen in a while, all cute and floppy. But just being held in his arms.
I saw them a few times in the space of half an hr, and everytime all I could think was don't drop him/her!

AIBU for thinking it was a bit daft of them?

I see nothing wrong with a bjorn. They're perfectly safe, and have a very teeny risk of hip displacement, but infant carseats have a teeny risk of suffocation but they're perfectly safe too, so on par.

Why would you namechange and back half way through a thread?

I shall make this as simple as i can.

Some people join/nc just to post goady threads that rile people. Think pram/wheelchairs on buses or 3 day old baby eating mcnuggets.
So when tbere are obvious nc fails without a good reason suspision is aroused that the OP is being goady for goadys sake. Sometimes socks are also present.

No chipped it was because I was on a local thread asking for local advice tonight. But I usually just name change once a week or so to stay off google searches
I'm not a goady fucker

Oooo, yes Socks.

Definitely socks.
Name changing, GF and socks.

@ dontyoulovecalpol - The brand may be reputable as in no breakages etc however being suspended by your pubic bone only for hours on end without any support for your whole pelvis and hips is not.

Is my reason not good enough izzy

And just to add, I did once have to put DS1 in one of those special trolleys that hold car seats when he was a few weeks old, as DH was at work and I didn't want to push the full weeks' shopping with one hand while holding him with the other. It was horrendous, he shrieked the whole time. Which led an older lady to ask if I was able to cope
From that day on, me and DH did the shopping together so that one of us could hold the baby.

I see nothing wrong with a bjorn. They're perfectly safe, and have a very teeny risk of hip displacement, but infant carseats have a teeny risk of suffocation but they're perfectly safe too, so on par.

And probably also on a par with being carried in a parents arms.

I wonder what people did back in the "olden" days before slings, prams etc had even been invented?

Along with milk & butter treacle

Lets be honest, whatever you do as a parent, some GF with mutiple names will be on the internet later slagging you off.

Be it sling, arms, prams, bag for life...

Probably left with the village elder waterlemon while they went hunting & gathering

Explain the 'juggling' with milk and butter, OP. You added that a little later I think.

Yes they should probably put some warnings on the packs mumi

I don't really see carrying butter and milk along with the baby as risky. Presumably if he was going to drop one of those things he would make sure it wasn't the baby.

or the capital D treacle

Its like bingo Chip

OP i dont care for your reasons regarding nc. I do think you are a GF and what you said to Dont was out of order.
This thread is daft and your pearls will strangle you if you keep clutching them this tight.

A parent holding their child in their arms is probably the safest of all places. Unless i am the parent because i managed to twonk all 3 dcs heads on door frames at home at some point in their life. I was very sleep deprived if that helps.

Right chipped my reason isn't good enough, I understand IAU about my intial post, wished I hadn't asked tbh, and this thread has reached it's end so I'm out, can't be arsed with posters like you.

You should have used a sling izzy you wouldn't have been anywhere near the doorfames, just A&E.

Yes but phillip a pram can fall over, but they're still perfectly safe to use. You wouldn't not use one incase it tipped.

I didn't say I wouldn't use a sling. You said slings were safe because you can catch yourself. I am asking how you can know you will catch yourself?

You can't. So your argument about it being safer, is total bollocks.

What about the milk and butter juggling

I see this when i read the dad was juggling the baby.
