This might sound silly, but I've been shopping for a baby sling and my husband is concerned about him or me hurting the baby if one of us fell down. I've never heard of this, but it does raise concerns. Has anyone had this happen or heard of this?
 
Its not silly, but a baby can get just as hurt when you fall down holding them as they could if they were in a sling/backpack. If you are about to fall, the first thing that you will do, is instinctively to cup the baby so she/he doesn't get hurt, so I don't think a sling/backpack is any more dangerous than just simply holding a little baby.
 
I have never heard of this either, but people do fall down. I think he is just being really protective which is good! Also, your first instinct is going to be to protect the baby.
