RE: KKAFP baby positioning question
The lying down cradle is fine, if Alek likes it. Even if he is totally swallowed in the sling, very cozy for a tiny one. My DS didn't like that! We used the tummy to tummy position. I'd pick him up on my L shoulder, and rest him there. Open pouch with R hand, and slide him down into the pouch, feet first. I never paid attention to how his little leggies folded, he was SOO comfy. Here's a pic, at two or three weeks old.
