How To Hold Your Newborn: Parenting Tips
So it's finally time to start a new life with your baby, but then you realise that you have no idea what you're doing! Along with the bundle of joy, you have to face many parenting challenges as well. If you doubt whether you are doing everything right, don’t worry! It is a natural feeling of all the first time mothers. One of the most common doubts that all new mothers face is how to hold a newborn baby.
SOOTHE YOUR CRYING NEWBORN IN 16 WAYS
Among the things to know about newborns, holding the baby is very important because any careless act from your side can harm your baby’s weak neck muscles. For those confused mothers who are concerned about how to hold a newborn baby, here are some easy and effective tips that will help you to lift, hold and cuddle your baby without any tension.
Find a comfortable position: There are many different ways to hold a baby. Try to select the most comfortable one for you. If you ask an experienced mommy about how to hold a newborn, they may suggest to you the cradle hold and the shoulder hold, which are the most comfortable ones.
Do
it
slowly:
Lift
your
baby
only
after
you
are
sure
that
you
have
grabbed
him/her
well.
The
most
secure
way
to
pick
your
baby
is
sliding
one
hand
under
the
baby’s
head
for
support,
while
keeping
your
other
hand
under
the
bottom.
This
will
help
keep
the
baby’s
neck
supported
and
will
make
the
baby
comfortable
as
well.
If
you
are
still
unsure
how
to
hold
your
newborn
baby,
you
can
ask
your
doctor
to
advise
you
on
the
right
techniques
of
holding
a
baby.
Be
careful:
Take
care
while
you
lift
your
baby’s
head.
Always
support
the
head
and
neck
because
newborn
babies
will
not
have
much
neck
muscle
control.
Remember
to
keep
one
hand
behind
the
neck
whenever
you
lift
your
baby.
The
cradle
hold:
The
most
common
position
for
holding
a
newborn
baby
is
the
cradle
hold.
Keep
your
baby’s
head
resting
on
your
chest,
while
sliding
your
hand
from
the
bottom
up
to
support
their
neck.
Gently
move
the
head
to
the
crook
of
your
arm
and
support
the
neck.
The
shoulder
hold:
Lift
your
baby
and
bring
him
close
to
your
chest
with
his
head
over
your
shoulders.
Take
care
to
give
support
for
the
head
and
neck
with
one
hand,
while
keeping
the
other
hand
on
the
bottom.
One
thing
to
know
about
holding
your
newborn
baby
is
that
the
shoulder
hold
is
the
best
position
for
winding
him/her.
Hold them safely: Once you lift your baby, bring them close to your warmth. This will not only make your little one feel safe and secure, but also will help you get more balance in holding them. You can hold them sitting down as well by laying them face-up with head resting on your knees and feet touching your tummy.
