Commenters pointed out that the sling should be raised “about a foot” because the child should be “laying across her chest, not her waist.”

Another fan pointed out that the way she is holding Israel horizontally could be dangerous for Jill, too, because she had a Cesarean section to deliver her baby earlier this month.
