Is it normal for the baby to sway left and right?

Patient's question:

My family is willing to sway the baby up and down and side to side when holding them, and it seems the baby enjoys it too. When the baby cries, swaying them makes them stop. However, my friend says it's not good, though she can't specify exactly why.
What kind of help would you like: Is swaying the baby while holding them not good?

Doctor's answer:

According to your description of this situation, it is generally not a problem and will not cause significant interference. As long as it is not violent shaking, it should be fine. However, there is one point to pay attention to: do not do this immediately after feeding, as it may interfere with the baby's absorption. The above is the suggestion for the question "Can the baby be shaken up and down and left and right while being held?" It is hoped that it will be helpful to you. Wishing you health!
