Carrying a newborn under 1 month may seem simple, but especially for young parents, it can be challenging. Infants under 1 month have delicate skin and soft bones, requiring careful handling to avoid injury. Proper newborn carrying skills are not widely known, so it’s crucial to pay attention to this issue, as newborns are highly vulnerable.
When carrying the baby, support the baby’s head in the palm of your hand, hold them close to your body. This way, the baby will feel the love transmitted from the caregiver. Remember to gently stroke, cuddle, and kiss the baby while carrying. Engage in conversation, sing to the baby, and even smile at them. These actions help the baby sense the love and care provided by the caregiver.
