Have I hurt my baby

Sorry for multiple posts on this but I'm still so worried...

Held my baby in the crook of the arm fully supported after feeding. So he was lay down head in my elbow crook.
He was crying as he was tired so started to play to cheer him up.
And was squeezing my arm sort of towards me to do that jiggle/bounce thing you do with them and saying boogabooga in a silly voice. Anyway he was half giggling half still crying so I did it a bit more vigorously. Quite a lot more and he giggled. I'm not sure if it was more his body moving or his head but he was supported at all times.

Question is will that have damaged his little brain?! His head was wobbling like a bobble head side to side a little but fully supported. I was definitely rough housing him but fully supported as I say, it just was quite a vigorous jiggle/shake/bounce not sure what the technical term is for the movement!

If you were as worried as your post sounded you should have went to a local walk in centre/hospital and got your baby checked not waiting for people to reply. As much as it sounded like your baby was definitely not hurt I wouldn’t take the advice of strangers on the internet over a quick trip to a walk in centre.

Fenella is right. That’s not simply new mum worries.

These are not just new mum worries - I’m sorry to repeat it but it’s an absolutely irrational level of anxiety and for the sake of you and your baby, you need to see your doctor.

This. Please OP, don’t think anyone is having a go, that’s absolutely not the case. People are flagging that you are in a spot at present where you can’t see you need some professional assistance.

I say this kindly OP, but you need to try and get this under control whilst your baby doesn't move. DD crawled at 7 months and walked at 10 months, cue several head bangs, falls, cries and bruises. Its terrifying but a very normal part of development and they need to be able to just get in with it (within reason).
