By placing your second hand between the lower back and the bottom, you will be able to hold the little one on a board without hunching him over too much.

In fact, this way you will distribute the support evenly across the baby's entire body.

The most correct posture is the vertical one because it allows you to support the baby's head in the best possible way without creating postural asymmetries and facilitating digestion .

The important thing is to make sure that you do not support the baby only with your lower hand to avoid him being completely hunched over. The newborn must be able to remain well aligned and upright.

If the baby often wants to be held in the parents' arms and in contact with them, as time goes by it can become increasingly tiring due to its weight and the impossibility of carrying out any activity.

Using baby slings or baby carriers can be a solution as they allow the baby to remain in contact, but at the same time maintain a correct position for his spine and development.

You can discover all the advantages of babywearing in my dedicated article.

The position in which you hold your baby after breastfeeding is also important. In fact, it is often said to place the baby sitting on your lap and pat him gently on the back to help him burp.

First of all I have to tell you that burping is not necessary if the baby eats slowly and in the correct position.

Burping is a sign of a possible presence of gastrointestinal disorders that cause the baby to have difficulty digesting.

Returning to the position, the sitting position is wrong as it leads to a squashing of the stomach, making digestion even slower and risks causing a stiff neck in the baby.

The upright position , on the other hand, helps him digest better. It is important to say, however, that the position does not resolve colic and reflux as they derive from gastrointestinal inflammation.

To find out how to treat them effectively, I recorded a video course that will explain all the parameters to evaluate and improve to make your child feel better.

Did you know that while you hold your baby you can give him a massage to help his posture and spinal development?

In my video course Osteo-massage I explain how to perform delicate and effective massages to relax your baby and bring him a series of benefits .

For example, back massage allows you to:

• Relax your muscles;
• Improve the mobility of the spine, promoting correct development of the physiological curves of the back and excellent posture;
• Relax the baby and improve the sleep rhythm;
• Improve digestion and breathing;
• Promote parent-child bonding and relationships.

In addition to the Osteo-massage on the back, you can also find one on the stomach, lower limbs and mouth.
