handling a baby with the FAB

[Guest guest]

Hi. I am the mother of a beautiful 6 week old boy who just came out of

his final cast for a unilateral clubfoot and is now in the DBB. I am

new to this website but have read many loving and helpful messages and

tips posted by members. I was just wondering whether anyone could give

me some advice on how to carry my newborn in a way that is comfortable

for him now that he is in the FAB. I find it difficult to hold him in

a cradle position since his feet are set so far apart from each other

in the bar. So I end up carrying him upright all the time, which

prevents me from seeing his face and interacting with him. I also

wonder if he's uncomfortable when I'm nursing him with his legs

sticking out so stiffly like that. Are there any tricks that someone

can share about holding/handling a baby in the bar? TIA.
