Bouncing babies
I know from experience that many of you have problems with this. How do I bounce my baby without hurting him and do I always have to bounce him. When it comes to the actual bouncing the answer is DIFFICULT. There is no one right answer to this, it all depends on the baby. If you breastfeed your baby and your baby sucks properly, doesn’t swallow air and doesn’t have tummy problems you may not need to bounce your baby. On the other hand, if a breastfed baby has problems with sucking, the frenulum, the tummy or is bottle-fed, you should always give it a sip.
IN WHAT POSITIONS SHOULD A BABY BOUNCE?
Position on your knees
One way to do this is to place your baby on your lap. I highly recommend this position.
How to do it?
While sitting, position one thigh higher than the other.
Place the baby so that the baby’s shoulders are on the thigh that is higher.
The arms drop down and are stretched forward. The baby’s body must not be bent or too straight. The bottom on the other thigh, which is lower, the legs are partly supported and partly dangling.
We can place our hand under the baby’s bottom.
Position on our shoulder
After feeding, we turn the baby to the forward facing bean position.
We then slide both hands under the baby’s shoulders while embracing the arms.
Lean forward, turning your baby sideways and resting her on our shoulder. Place your own shoulder underneath the baby’s waist and torso.
Place the baby’s hands on your back and support the bottom with one hand.
The legs should be gently bent, the trunk and head should not tilt back. The other hand can secure this position by touching the baby’s shoulder or torso.
I hope this post was helpful, or maybe you have a better way to bounce your baby?
