@@retrox64games honestly man my best advice would be support your partner the best you can, don’t set expectations for your baby, and just take things as they come. Super cliche advice but I don’t think there really are any tips or tricks. I have a happy healthy 17 month old now. Things definitely get more fun after about 10 months I would say too, so you can look forward to that!

Check out at 3:42 and 4:17 where for almost one second the head is not supported. On the first mark the baby is being turned by holding it at the waist and on the second one, the baby's head would clearly snapped backwards. I'm wondering how nobody in the comments section saw it. I mean no offense, but that's clearly bad handling.

@DadUniversity 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you for the feedback. While you are correct the baby's head should be supported, the purpose of the video was showing the holds, not necessarily the transition to the holds. If I do make another video about it I will be sure to be more careful

@sachinkayastha1121 3 ай бұрын

Anxious soon to be dad here. Would really appreciate if the video started from actually picking up the baby rather than already holding the baby in a video that is supposed to teach us how to hold the baby.😅
