Babies are not as fragile as you might think. Newborns will have many natural reflexes and are energetic little ones. However, it is still important to be gentle with your baby, not only for his safety, but also to make him feel secure. All newborns are born with a hug reflex or startle reflex. The startle reflex is when your baby shows a curled back, flailing arms and legs, and crying when faced with loud noises or sudden movement. This natural reflex will last for about 4 months. To avoid causing your baby to jump too much, hold him gently and hold his whole body, if his legs and arms are hanging down, he will feel insecure and frightened. When holding the baby to hold the baby’s neck, one hand to hold his head and neck, the other hand to hold his hips and legs, this will make him feel safe, at this time the baby close to your body will be more able to increase its sense of security. When putting your baby down to sleep, move gently and slowly to avoid waking or frightening your baby. Put your baby’s head down first, then gently put your baby’s body down, gently move one hand away and then the other, hoping that your baby will not wake up at this point. If your baby may be frightened when you put him down for sleep, hold him in your arms and rock him gently before putting him down for sleep, then spend a few more minutes with him, patting him gently and talking gently and calmly to him until he is asleep and then leave. Remember not to shake your baby, because shaking your baby can lead to serious brain damage. If you feel that you may be hurting your baby by shaking him or her hard, get help. Grandparents and other caregivers must also be made aware that babies should never be shaken.
