Hello ladies,
I am a first time mom and I'm a bit "panicky " about, well...everything lol
I was just wondering if you could advise me on this, my baby boy is 9 weeks and I've had this Moses basket I've been putting him on since he was born, it's got a rocking stand. Sometimes I rock him really fast because I thought he liked it and fell asleep to it but lately I started wondering if it was actually affecting him in a bad way, you know the ROCKING? Will he be okay? Should I stop? Thanks for all advice xx

Don’t panic! I would always be gentle when rocking a baby because they have no head control and their heads can flop around a bit. I would say that forcefulness is more of a worry than speed to be honest, but I would just play it safe and be gentle from now on :)
