Left handed baby holder? Right?

Irrelevant. In either instance, an inability to internally rotate your shoulder (see Hang Archetype), will lead to compensation – a dumping forward of the shoulder, which is neither efficient nor ideal for a parent who is looking at a few years of solid babytotoddler carrying.

And no, the cue to create rotational load when holding a kid is not “break or bend the baby.” Shame on you!
