Silly question - can you hold your baby in either arm?
I'm a righty, so I always hold Jackson in my left arm, sitting on my left hip. Well, for some reason if I switch him over to my right side, I can't hold him for very long! So weird how much stronger my left arm is, but yet I don't have a huge bicep on that side

Re: Silly question - can you hold your baby in either arm?
wherever you and the baby is comfortable is fine... 
ETA - I hold him in my left arm too, and I'm a righty - I wonder why thats more comfortable?

Re: Silly question - can you hold your baby in either arm?
I'm a righty & hold Lily with my left arm too. I haven't tried the right. I bet I'll find I can't do it as long either.

Re: Silly question - can you hold your baby in either arm?
This is really weird, because I too am right handed. When he is laying on me having his bottle, he is on my left arm. But if I'm holding him upright, it's usually on my right hip. But, he's such a big boy that I try to use the Baby Bjorn as much as I can.

Re: Silly question - can you hold your baby in either arm?
I switch back and forth. I always start on the dominant side but have to switch eventually b/c my arm starts to get sore now that she's bigger.

Same here. I start on my right hip and then switch to my left. Either side feels fine.

Re: Silly question - can you hold your baby in either arm?
I'm a lefty...and if I'm holding DD up, I use my left arm, left hip. However...if I'm feeding her a bottle, she sits on my right leg, in my right arm, and I hold the bottle with my left hand.
PS. DH is also lefty and he does it the exact same way as me

Re: Silly question - can you hold your baby in either arm?
Always right.
When they were very small I could hold one in each arm

Re: Silly question - can you hold your baby in either arm?
I'm a lefty and feed with her head on my left arm (but can do the right - it just doesn't feel as natural.)
I carry on her in my right on my hip - I don't think I ever tried my left...

Re: Silly question - can you hold your baby in either arm?
I am a righty, I hold him on my right hip...which I need to stop doing, I think it is contributing to my sciatica

Re: Silly question - can you hold your baby in either arm?
I'm more comfortable with her on my left, leaving my right free (I'm a righty).
