Novice mothers must learn: several postures to hold the baby

1. Hug sideways

Newborns can only be held horizontally. When the baby is lying on his back, the mother gently inserts his left hand behind his waist and buttocks, gently puts his right hand under the baby’s head and neck, and slowly picks it up. Then, slowly move the right hand behind the baby’s head to the left arm so that the baby’s head rests on the mother’s left hand. In this way, the baby’s body is supported, and the head will not droop back; letting the baby be held in the arms of the mother will make him feel very comfortable and secure.

2. Vertical hug

After the baby is two months old, you can use the vertical hold. The vertical hold is generally used after breastfeeding. After the baby is full of milk, the mother sits still and adjusts the baby’s position a little so that the baby’s buttocks sit on her lap, with one hand supporting his back and the other hand supporting his head and neck. To burp, pat your baby’s back with a hand on his back. This hold helps to burp and comfort your baby’s full stomach.

3. Let the baby ride on the mother’s crotch

Older babies can take this hold, which is generally used when playing with the baby. Let the baby and the mother face each other, spread the baby’s legs and sit on the mother’s crotch. The mothers support his back with one hand and the baby’s neck with the other. At this time, if the baby feels that it is not safe enough, he will grab the mother’s arm with his little hand.

4. Stand and hold the baby

This holding position is also suitable for older babies, which can make the baby’s vision wider. When mother stands up, don’t stand up straight, bend down and stand up slowly, upper body and baby
Separate naturally. After standing up, the mother’s hands support the baby’s neck and back, the upper body is slightly forward, and the eyes are looking at the baby tenderly. Then, the mother can naturally rest the baby’s head on her chest. Make sure that the position of the hands is on the baby’s neck and buttocks, so as to avoid accidents if they are not held firmly.
