How do foreign parents carry their infant?

Question

Does your infant sleep together with parents? What was the most effective method in soothing a crying infant and what sleeping arrangements did you use with your infants?

Answer 1

Very much the same as any other parent.....

What exactly are you trying to ask, your question makes very little sense.

In certain parts of the world, especially where the mother will work with the child, the kid will be in a sling either on the back or the front of the mother. Even here, in the uk you can get a sling/backpack for you baby.

Answer 2

Slings or wraps are very common:

Most parents in the world sleep with their babies and can't imagine having them far away from them or in another room. In countries where co-sleeping is more common, SIDS rates are much lower.

I am not foreign and neither is my husband, however we carried my daughter in a sling (didn't even own a stroller until she was six months old and even then we hardly used it) and she slept with us until she was 2. Even now she crawls into our bed sometimes. It was great! I am expecting again and we are planning on doing the same with my son.

Answer 3

I don't understand, why would foreign parents be different than say regular parents? My baby has his sanitary crib and his regular sleigh crib. His sleeping arrangements are his crib. Still confused over the question...
