How do I hold and carry a newborn?
So there are a lot of different techniques for carrying a new born and I think a lot of it is just trial and error. And you figure out what works best for you. A lot of families carry their new born over their shoulder cradling their head like this. Some hold the baby in a foot ball hold, holding their head cradling it or even holding the baby with their chest in your hand leaning forward like this. But I think a lot of it is just trial and error and getting used to it, you can also swaddle your baby. We talk about how you swaddle a child. Because your child's gonna feel best during things mimic being inside of you. Being tight in a tight swaddle, holding them, talking to them, swooshing them, rocking them so any type of holding measures like that will work really well.
