Does holding a newborn frequently during the postpartum period form a habit?

Patient's question:

The child just born doesn't know what's going on, there are always red spots on their body, and they are spitting up milk. Please ask if holding a newborn frequently during the postpartum period will form a habit?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, you can hold the baby, but you shouldn't hold them too often when they are crying, as this will spoil the baby. When they are crying, you need to check if the baby is hungry or if there are other issues. Pay attention to rest and enhance nutrition.
Hello, if the nasal mucus is dry and blocking the nose, use a cotton swab dipped in water to gently poke inside. Then, use a baby-specific nasal aspirator. It's best to take them to the hospital for a check-up to avoid catching a cold.
