Every
physical interaction between baby/child and parent should be gentle
and caring. Some babies/children don't like to be swung up away from
you – they may stiffen and go quiet – or cry loudly! Please take
this into consideration when lifting baby onto a change table,
highchair, or putting them in a car seat.
Speak to them about what you are about to do, and as you do it.
Always lift children
lovingly with your hands clasping their upper body under their
armpits, don't pick them up by their hands or arms. Little elbows and
shoulders can be dislocated very easily.
To protect your
back, bend your knees to lift a child, don't stoop. Hold your child
close to you as soon as you pick them up.
Start out respectfully, and continue this type of relationship into childhood, then early adulthood ... keep your relationship with your children sweet. xxx
