Hotslings baby carriers - ok to have them "tucked up"?

I have one of those hotslings baby carriers and my son (4 months) sits upward, facing outwards. The problem is that they show you to cross their legs (indian style) and put them in the sling…his feet touch his stomach and he’s curled into the fetal position. He loves it, and is comfortable because it’s the only way I can get him to sleep but it just seems like the legs being "tucked up" would be detrimental to his development. Anyone know?

This is _preferable_, to have them curled up froggy-style in the sling when they’re little.

Think of how he was in the womb….

    Shouldn’t be a problem - many websites will tell you to put a newborn in the sling that way. My daughter rode facing me in her sling like that until she got too wiggly.

    my daughter was like that in her sling, and now at 16 months is running up a storm, her legs are fine :)
