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. But my friend says it's not good, though she can't specify exactly why.
What kind of help would you like: Is it bad to sway the baby when holding them?

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 is 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 advice for the question "Can't you shake the baby up and down and left and right while holding them?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
