One way to carry your baby in your arms is to cradle her head in the crook of either arm, which is slightly inclined. The rest of her body will rest on the lower part of your arm, encircled by your wrist and hand, which support her back and bottom. Your other arm will provide additional support to her bottom and legs, and your baby can see your face as you talk to her and smile at her.
The second way to carry your baby is to hold her against the upper part of your chest with her head on your shoulder. Your forearm should be placed across her back and your hand should support her resting head, leaving your other hand free. This can be used to provide support for your baby’s bottom or to help you balance. Your sense of balance will change at first as you get used to carrying your new baby.
Supporting and cradling
Hold your baby’s head and support the length of her body when carrying her. Holding her close will make your baby feel secure and relaxed, especially if she can see your face.
