How to hold your baby
Pick up your baby slowly and hold him gently-and most of all,don’t be scared!
Everyone is nervous about picking up a newborn at first.
But this is the first step in taking care of him. Relax and pick him up slowly.
Holding your baby
Place your hand underneath your baby's head to support it.
Place your other hand between his legs to support his back.
Lift him to your body.
Note
Cradle your baby with his
head resting on your arm.
When you do this, bring him
close to your heart.
It doesn't matter if you hold
him facing left or
right-choose whichever is
most comfortable for you.
