It's an old wives tale. You're not going to hurt baby by stretching, but it can aggravate round ligament pain which is uncomfortable for mama.
I reach to put things up in my classroom but I just make sure I don't stretch right out etc
Yeah i got told not to do it. Cord can wrap around the baby and stop breathing.
i think ur not spose to over stretch. i got told its coz yr baby can get tangled with the cord. just dont over do it :)
