is it safe to hold my baby   

For years, we have been taught to believe that holding a baby too much “spoils” them. But experts believe that touch is crucial to a baby’s development and gives them the foundation to grow emotionally, physically, and intellectually. Also, whenever you or your partner immediately attend to your baby’s cry for food, cuddle or sleep, you’re making your baby realise that you’ll be there always which will strengthen your bond with them. Whenever you hold your child, make sure that your hands are clean as small babies are prone to getting infections easily.
