Hugs can give your baby a sense of security and promote parent-child communication. According to statistics, babies who hold more are generally more cheerful. However, the head and neck strength of the newborn is not enough to support independently, so it is best to let him lie down.
Frequent holding of the newborn will make the baby’s spine always bend, which is not good for the baby’s bone growth over time. Moreover, the newborn’s head is relatively large, and it is difficult for the cervical spine to support the weight of the head. If you let your baby lie flat on the bed, he can lay his body flat and reduce the burden on his neck.
If the mother wants to have parent-child communication, it is a good way to talk to the baby by the baby’s bed and touch the baby. It is not necessary to hold more.
