• This is very common posture especially after feeding to burp the child

• Always remember that babies less than 6-8 months have floppy back so it’s very important to support the back.

PROCEDURE

• Stand on the side of the baby

• Make sure you look around and see if it’s safe

• Remember never panic when carrying a baby. Have a firm grip

• Slide one of your hand under the infant’s shoulders and neck and spread your fingers to support the head.

• Now slide your other hand in between the two legs towards their bottom and grip.

• The baby should completely lie on your arm

• Now lift the baby and move them closer to your shoulder with their face towards your shoulder.

• Stabilise the bottom with one of your hand and the other to stabilise the head and back.

• Babies Less than 3 months tend to have a wobbly head as their neck muscles are still weak. So be careful
