Is it harmful to hold a 2-month-old baby upright?

Patient's question:

A two-month-old baby, who was normally held upright, suddenly dropped their head down during the transition from vertical to horizontal holding. I don't know if their neck or cervical spine was injured. After that, they started crying, but stopped once they were fed with formula. However, they started crying again after finishing the feeding. The crying didn't last long, and I wonder if their neck or cervical spine was injured?

Doctor's answer:

Friend, in this situation, there's nothing serious to worry about. It's not necessary to be anxious. You can't do this kind of thing in the future. I suggest you be more careful when taking care of your child. Pay attention to hygiene and take frequent baths. Since there's nothing serious with the child, don't worry. The above content is the complete answer to the question: "Can holding a two-month-old baby upright cause harm?" I hope the patient can soon be free from illness and recover quickly, living happily every day.
