At this time, the baby can only look up slightly because the neck muscles and the spine of the whole body are not mature enough to support the weight of the head.
Therefore, when holding a baby during this period, we must pay attention to protecting the baby's head and waist. Hold your baby's back, neck and head with one hand and your baby's ass and waist with the other.
When using the wrist hug, the baby's head should be placed at the bend of his left arm. At this point, the elbow will protect the head, the left wrist and left hand will protect the back and waist, the right forearm will protect the baby's legs horizontally away from the baby, and the right hand will support the baby's ass and waist.
If you hold it vertically, the time should not be too long. Support the baby's back with one arm and hold his head and neck firmly with his hands. Hold the baby's hip with the other hand. The baby's little hand hangs down beside him and can shake freely.
3-6 months old baby
Although the baby's neck and waist have developed well during this period, we should pay attention to protecting these two places, but the baby who is more than 3 months old can start the practice of vertical hug. Adults can hug their children's hips with one hand and hold their heads with the other.
Babies over 6 months old
At this time, the baby's spine has developed better. At this time, the way of sitting and hugging can be adopted, that is, the baby and parents sit face to face and hug each other with their hands, which is convenient for parent-child communication and more labor-saving.
