Novice parents often have such confusion. The baby who has not yet reached the full moon is crying and crying. It is good to hold it up. The little guy seems to enjoy exploring the strange world from a standing angle. However, the old people have long been stunned. When the baby is too young, he can’t hold it vertically, which is not good for the cervical spine. So, can't you really hold your baby in the moon?

Newborn, more hugs or more lying?
Xiao Jing is a new mother who stayed in the United States after graduating from study. This year she successfully gave birth to a 3.5-kilogram daughter in a hospital in Seattle. When I went back to China to visit relatives after pregnancy, I specially taught her how to hold the baby, and repeatedly told her that the newborn baby could not stand upright because the baby’s bones were not long enough to support her head and body. The baby's bones are not well developed.
Can hold, but don't take too long
The posture of holding the baby correctly is that at least one hand should be used to hold the baby's neck position when holding it, because the baby's cervical vertebra is not hard enough, it can't support itself, and the other hand holds the baby. Ass, and try to protect the baby's back with arms and palms, use the strength of the waist and hands to hold up the baby. You can also put your baby's head on your shoulders to make his eyes look better, and the baby will be more happy when he sees more things. When the baby sucks or snoring, and when he is crying, he can hug and pat his back so that he can play a good appeasement. The time for each hug should not be too long, three to five minutes.
In addition, Xiao Jing found that in order to exercise the development of the baby's neck, the nurse would let the baby squat on a hard bed or on the ground to practice raising his head every day. From birth, he can do such exercises every day, and the time is gradually increased.
Hold the baby upright, pay attention to 5 o'clock
1. Don't shake baby
When the baby is crying, sleeping or waking up, Mommy will habitually shake the baby, thinking that this is what the baby wants most. However, it is difficult for you to grasp the strength of shaking. If the strength is too large, it is likely to cause damage to the baby's head, eyeball and other parts, and you will feel the arm particularly painful.
2. Always observe baby
When holding the baby, always pay attention to whether his hands, feet and back posture are natural and comfortable, avoiding the baby's hands and feet being folded, pressed, and the back spine falling backwards, causing damage to the baby.
3. Hold for 3 to 5 minutes each time
Let the baby feel your love for him and make him feel safe. Don't hold it for a long time, even if you fall asleep and hold it on your body, this will develop a bad habit of crying when you don't hug, and it will also add a lot of trouble to your future parenting process.
4. Attention distance
When holding the baby, Mommy should not be too close to the baby, because the germs on your face, hair and mouth can easily pose a threat to the delicate skin of the baby.
5. Distract attention
When the baby enjoys the fun of standing upright, he may no longer be content to be hugged and lying. At this time, you can find ways to transfer your baby's attention, such as taking a fun toy to attract her, or giving her a good music. If it doesn't work, then hold it for a while.
TIPS
Three months ago, the baby's neck was weak and could not support his head, so Mommy should always pay attention to supporting his head while picking up and putting down the baby. When putting the baby down, the safest position is to let him back down on the bed.
