A. it's ok carry on hands or Carrier. it's better if you swaddle . it provides baby warm. cozy environment just like mother's womb. also it helps in good sleep. baby feels secure too , it helps in minimising startle response of baby especially in sleep

A. no you should not worry about this. this is a normal behavior of some kids as they do not prefer lap. if your child is comfortable and accepting feeds and passing urine then nothing to worry about this
