@korimeloy what you can use in replacement of incline strollers & containers—
• a good ole fashioned wagon. this is our family’s go-to. they are so simple, you can add whatever padding you’d like, and you can lay baby on their belly so they can pick their heads up and see around them.
• for newborns, there’s of course the use of baby carriers (i just got one in from @artipoppe) or your own arms. i love holding newborns as much as possible with my own arms so i can simultaneously shape the fascia of their bodies.
• last but not least, VILLAGE. sometimes we just need the extra support. listen to our @villagesessionspodcast podcast for more about creating your village.
where you can begin with working with your baby’s posture + fascia—
• the newly relaunched @thevesselvillage untied course, which guides mothers through @michalechatham’s postural blueprint method (including her famous infant booty massage), which is dynamic movement for infants 0-12 months so you can help your babies can grow, expand, and breathe right from your own home. this course is my go-to resource for myself when i have an infant and i’ve been integrating michale’s method for our family since 2020. i will be going through it once again with this next baby!
• the rooted families course, our family offering we create WITH michale, which integrates dynamic movement into the whole family unit + home. if your kids are moving into the toddler stage & beyond, this is the place for you.
where you can begin with your own posture as a mother—
• my free movement challenge you can find in my feed
• bowspring dynamic movement classes from my teacher @glowbowgrow
• rooted families
• the village birth offering (dynamic movement for pregnancy & you can find linked in my birth highlight)

Explaining why our family avoids strollersfrom @korimeloy
[01]
Overview
The creator explains her family's decision to not use strollers or baby containers. She first frames it as a rejection of consumerism and unnecessary baby products, then provides a physiological argument, explaining how these containers force a baby's body into an unnatural 'c-shape' that is contrary to the natural curvature of the spine, using illustrative images to support her point.
Why our family does not use strollers or baby containers and what we do instead.
Visual hook · 5%
A woman speaking directly to the camera in a bright, aesthetically pleasing home interior, creating a personal and inviting atmosphere.
[07]
Hook and payoff
The promise the opener makes, and how the video pays it back
Hook
A direct, polarizing statement that declares an unconventional choice ('Why our family does not...'), immediately creating a curiosity gap and positioning the creator as an authority with a unique perspective.
Payoff
The Damning Verdict. A concise, conclusive statement that synthesizes the comparison, declaring the conventional method to be fundamentally opposed to the ideal standard, thus justifying the initial contrarian stance.

Narrative framework
The structural pattern this video runs on
Framework
The Contrarian Expert
To persuade an audience by deconstructing a common practice, revealing its hidden flaws through a mix of relatable frustration and technical expertise, and contrasting it against a natural or ideal standard.
1
The Authority Signal
The creator briefly establishes their credibility and experience within the topic (e.g., 'third child'), grounding their contrarian stance in real-world application and personal investment.
2
The Shared Grievance
The creator identifies a broad, relatable frustration or 'common enemy' associated with the conventional approach (e.g., consumerism), building rapport and aligning with the viewer's potential skepticism.
3
The Technical Pivot
A transition from the general, philosophical problem to a specific, technical, or 'scientific' analysis of the core issue. This signals a shift to the main evidence of the argument.
4
The Flaw Visualization
The creator breaks down the specific negative attributes of the conventional method, using visuals and specific terminology (e.g., 'c-shape', 'compressed ribs') to make an abstract danger feel concrete and tangible.
5
The Ideal Benchmark
The creator presents the 'correct' or 'natural' standard (e.g., a diagram of a healthy spine), creating a stark visual and conceptual contrast with the previously demonstrated flaw. This serves as the undeniable point of comparison.

Why our family does not use strollers or baby containers and what we do instead. With the birth of my third child coming soon at the spring, a lot of you guys who know kind of the lifestyle that our family chooses to live have been curious about more baby related questions. One of them being, do we use strollers? First, it probably goes without saying, like, we all know this, that moms are sold so much fluff and so much abundance of things that we don't really need that actually create a deeper dependency on big industries, big business. That's just a given. Second, let's just talk about, like, the physical structure of a stroller or a baby container. When you place your baby inside of one of these, you're placing your baby in what you could call a c shape. It's the tucked chin, the compressed ribs, the tucked pelvis that makes up that c shape. Compare this with the physiological design of the curvature of the spine and the airway, it's actually quite literally the opposite of what these containers are.
