Hand-holding method
The left hand firmly holds the baby's back, neck and head, and the right hand gently protects his little ass and waist. This method is especially suitable for picking up and putting down the baby from the bed!
Wrist hug
Gently put the baby's head on the bend of his left arm, protect his little head with his elbow, and protect his back and waist with his left wrist and left hand. The right forearm gently extends from the baby to protect the legs, and the right hand firmly holds the baby's ass and waist. This is a common posture for holding a baby!
Avoid vertical hugs
The newborn's head accounts for 1/4 of the whole body length, and all the weight of the head is pressed on the cervical vertebra when it is held vertically. 1-2 months old baby's neck muscles are not fully developed, so avoid this incorrect holding method and prevent spinal injury!
It shouldn't be held for a long time
Although we all love our babies, it is harmful to hold them too much! Newborns need 20 hours of sleep every day, and 6-month-old babies also need 16 hours of sleep. In addition to special moments such as feeding and changing diapers, try to let your baby rest!
Mother-child communication
Holding the baby face to face is the warmest way of parent-child communication! You can also shake it gently to make your baby more relaxed and happy!
