Is the hug string used correctly?
In fact, there are many people who use the wrong way. Perhaps you have put a burden on your baby without knowing how to use your own style.
Because it is a necessity used in various situations in everyday life, let's reconfirm the correct usage.

What is the correct posture when hugging?

What you should avoid in your baby's posture is "straightening".
It is important that the arms are lightly closed and the elbows are bent, and the legs are turned in the legs and knees and turned outwards. In addition, it is ideal to have a rounded state close to the C -shape, with the back does not stretch.
However, the point is that both are "moderately" and "natural". It is not good to stretch out, but it is NG to bend too much because it is pressed down.
Check if you're unnaturally stretched or a cramped posture.

What are the problems in the wrong posture?

As the legs extend, the risk of hip dislocation increases. According to the Japan Society of Pediatric Surgery, hip dislocation is a disease in which the joints at the base of the foot come off, and if you take an ideal non -M -shaped posture, the hip joint may gradually dislocate.
It is important to keep the M -shaped bent and move freely even in situations other than hugging, such as when lying down. Clothes and diapers can be tough, and that may cause the legs to extend.

In addition, from the age of several months to about 5 years old, it is a time when the elbow joint is dislocated. It is a phenomenon that is generally said to be "elbow coming out". It occurs mainly when pulling or twisting your hands, but it is not good because the unnatural posture, such as the elbow, is burdensome. It is important to note that if you receive a "reduction treatment" that returns the bone to its original position in an osteopath or orthopedic surgery, it will heal and painless, but once elbow herandering occurs, it will be easier to repeat.

The C curve on the back is an ideal attitude that can be relaxed for the baby. There are benefits such as easier breathing and relief in a close posture when you are in the womb. If you turn it over, it is difficult for your baby to breathe and it is difficult to gain a sense of security. The muscles of the waist and back can be nervous, stiff, which can lead to fatigue and pain.

What are the wrong usage of the hugs and their disadvantages?

A common NG example is a state where the position of the waist belt is low and the baby is hugging at a low position. Hugging at a lower position than the waist will put a heavy burden on the waist of Mama Dad.
Also, the low waist belt means that the shoulder belt is too long. In that state, the degree of adhesion between the mama dad and the baby will be reduced, and the gap will be more than necessary, so the baby's posture will easily collapse, and the posture may be unstable and the fall may fall.
Even if the length of the shoulder belt is different on the left and right, the balance may be lost and the burden on the mama dad will increase, the gaps will be formed and the risk of falling will increase. Adjust to be equal to the left and right.

What are the points to use the hug correctly?

The first important thing in wearing a general waist belt type hug type is to tighten the waist belt so that it is horizontal at the waist position. It is just the right height that the baby's head is around the decollete under the face of Mama Daddy.
It is also important to adjust the length so that the shoulder belt does not become too long, so that the back buckle for fixing the shoulder belt comes under the scapula. If the buckle is fastened, the weight of the baby will be supported only by the shoulder, but if you fasten it in the correct position, the weight will be accepted on the back, so it will be easier.

Once you have a hug, check your baby's posture. Make sure your arms and legs are bent moderately and your back is curled up, or if your breathing is likely to be painful. Be careful not to close your baby's nose and mouth close to the mamapapa's body.
If your legs are not M -shaped, lifting your buttocks and sending them towards your daddy.

Encourage the right posture with a hip seat carrier

In order to hold it in the right posture, it is recommended to use a hip seat carrier.
The hip sheet carrier naturally opens the legs in the M -shaped leg by sitting the baby on the pedestal, and the waist position is stable, so the back is a C -shaped curve. The correct posture is possible and the center of gravity stabilizes with a moderate adhesion, reducing the burden on mama daddy.

However, there is a hip seat carrier that can be used after the waist and the use of it, so be sure to check before use.
