baby backpack what age image
Olivia P
The kitten was born about an hour and a half ago, I'm estimating. The mom is trying to cuddle with the baby, but is also kind of laying on it. I want the baby to eat, but I'm not interfering. I don't think the baby has had anything to eat yet. Will she eat on her own? Also, she had the baby in the closet on a backpack. When can we move her into a box with blankets?
Answer
Move them right now. She is confused and needs the space to give birth and care for the kittens. She will not abandoned the kittens if they are touched or held. Keep the box in the closet for her privacy and so that she feels safe and comfortable. I hope this isn't a young mother cat under a year old as she may be confused. When a cat sits on kittens or refuses to nurse them it is either due to a young age or not having the mother instincts. With that said, here is what can be done. If this is the only kittens chances are that mom cat is in labor and giving birth to more. When she is resting, put the kitten up to her teat and rub his face gently on it. He should latch on. Keep an eye on them until you know that all kittens are born and mom and kids are doing well.

At which age did you start to carry baby on your back?
LGM
My little daughter is three months, two weeks old. She can hold up her head pretty well, but can't sit yet, of course. I have an ergo-baby carrier and a sling. However, both seemed to be laid out to carry a baby her age in front, rather than on the back. At which age would it be safe for baby to be carried on my back?
Answer
I used a sling with my son, using different positions at different ages, according to what was comfortable at the time. I eventually bought a different backpack carrier when he really seemed to outgrow the sling. In our case, he was about a year old when I finally started using the backpack regularly. He was small for his age though, so that made front carrying possible for longer than most!
It depends on your carrier, but some front carriers and most back carriers recommend the baby be around 6 months old for the sake of spinal development. Slings tend to be better for young babies because they hold the babies in more natural positions. Young babies prefer to be curled up with their entire body supported, rather than stretched out or in a position with their legs dangling. Back carriers are generally better for older babies who are stable sitting on their own.
