#asktheexpert one of my aunt said that we should not keep baby on our shoulder as it will create problem for them in breathing and in breastfeeding. Just wanted to know if there is issue in putting the baby on our shoulder?

A. dear Mum, there is no problem in keeping your baby on your shoulder. keeping your baby's head and chest at a level higher than stomach helps in reducing the chances of vomit.
