Why Do Most Mothers Cradle Their Babies in their Left Arms ? (20)
I think it has to do with the fact that most people are right handed and this keeps the hand free to do other things if necessary....jmo! And I do have a child and I remember doing the same thing!

Because the heart is on the left and the babies are comforted by the sound of our heartbeat! JMO!

Maybe their left breast is smaller and there is more head room.

To be fair on this topic, I did the kangaroo thing. I had a pack that I always carried my babies in. It was a front pack thing. They loved it and it kept my hands free!

Bad back! So I couldnt do that

Yeah that kinda sucks! When my munchkins could hold their heads up I turned the pack around so they got a pretty good view of what was going on.

I grew up being told I would never be a mom. When I got pregnant my family was afraid I wouldn't live through it. They are spoiled now because of it!

I did also. Mainly it was because I was busy, stirring a pot sometimes, during feeding time. This always upset my mom who was afraid I would burn the baby...I never did.
However, to answer Mastic....I fed them from both sides, so size didn't matter. (My ex used to remark that one side was chocolate and one side was vanilla.) The babies didn't care.
I do remember hearing that babies would be comforted by being placed where they could hear the heartbeat. Never knew if it was an old wive's tale or not. I gave them plenty of love and comfort....

maybe for the same reason that a Right-Handed person presses the Chords on the Fretboard of a Guitar with their Left Hand.

The most likely explanation is that the mother's heart is on the left side and, by holding the baby in her left arm, she is unconsciously bringing her infant closer to the sound of the heartbeat. This is the sound that the baby heard when it was inside the mothers' womb and which is therefore associated with peace, comfort, and security.
