A British study
in the Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry suggests that mothers who
cradled their baby on the right side may be struggling with extreme stress. The
study suggests that baby cradling habits may indicate whether the stress could
become increasingly hard to handle and lead to depression. As many as ten
percent of new mothers develop postpartum depression. Identifying warning signs
could potentially help health care providers identify mothers who might be
prone to emotional difficulties. The majority of mothers prefer to cradle their
baby on the left side.
