Why do I feel that I can't carry a new born baby?? I feel their head's just gonna crack or something!!!

Answer 1

fear of course. they are very fragile. i am scsred of the same thing

Answer 2

Oh wow! Just hold the're neck up even the littlest bit is all you need to do. Don't fret it much. It's not that hard to take care of a newborn. The only way a baby's neck can actually snap or you can hurt their head is if you or they move their neck real fast backwards or you drop them or they. Don't run with them either, and remember they always need support. Of course their heads are sensative, but it makes it worse when you worry 'bout it all the time. Try just keeping the baby in a blanket, and put more blanket under the head than the body, it should work to support them alot more, and make you feel alot better.

Answer 3

Many men feel the same way. Maybe it's just part of who men are...the women have always been the caretakers of the babies, the men go out and hunt. But, you can overcome this. Start our by holding that baby while you're sitting down, so you don't feel so much like you'll drop her/him. Think about it this way...birth is possibly the single most physically traumatic thing a human goes through in their life, and that newborn you're scared to touch just went through it! Babies are much tougher than most people realize.

Answer 4

Its a phobia that almost all go thru. And they r really flexible. Just sit down until u feel comfortable to travel with the little guy.

Answer 5

I used to worry about that all the time! Just don't offer to hold a baby unless your sitting down. That helps calm my nerves.

Answer 6

Awww, because they are sooo tiny and fragile looking. You need to take care when holding them, but they aren't as fragile as they look...Have you ever seen the nurses toweling off a newborn? It looks like they are going to shake them to death..lol relax, it will just take time.

Answer 7

I FEEL THAT TOO. I'M ALWAYS AFRAID OF CARRING THEM
