Yes, you should probably sit down and put a pillow or thick blanket between your cast and him. Or you can hold him mainly with your other arm, but sit down just in case.
Hope that helps.

Yes but you may want to put a soft blanket between the baby and your cast, just for comfort reasons. And sitting down may be a good idea since if you stumble you only have one good arm to regain balance. You don't want to be caught in a situation like that with a baby in your arms!

Put a blanket or pillow over your cast and then you can hold the baby. Be careful to put it's head on your other arm so you can support it's head.

Yes,just make sure you don't bump the baby's head against the cast,try putting a blanket around the baby.

Sure, just be extra careful and put something soft over your cast like a fleece blanket or something similar.

you can hold your baby cousin just make sure to support his head. if you are that uncomfortable have somebody sit right next to you as you are holding him. you will be fine.

Just make allowances for the unusable portion of your arm, he'll be fine as long as you don't hav his head supported against it.
