How did the PoW not drop the baby?

[LadyLyndon]

Heart in mouth stuff. I always held my babies firmly under the bum.

I think your comment is a load of rubbish.

Embarrassing to have posted this. What do you look like, OP?

@OhmygodDont tbf she probably does have a bell for the help, so you were half right.

🤣🤣 christ a plaster on her thumb yesterday, today it's "she's holding a baby all wrong" I await tomorrow's thrilling thread about this woman.

In her position I'd be holding baby a) as handed to me b) to be visible in photos as parents will want c) securely with account of how baby is spreading its weight, which isn't clear from photo. She obviously gets it right.

It would probably make more sense to have done an upright carry but if you were handed the baby in a cradle position you would probably respect that.

And also less risk of getting baby sick over the shoulder of your very nice coat.

Poor woman.

Totally.

When I read the thread title I thought what is a prisoner of war doing holding baby?

It will be how she was smiling when the Irish lady was heckling her. A headline that just popped up. Probably worded as PoW laughed in womens face or something.

Leave her be. She's got 3 kids fgs.

Same.

This is a very strange thread. That looks like a perfectly normal way to hold a baby 😕

Looks fine to me! God knows poor DD2 is held in all manner of weird ways while I try to extricate DD1 from whatever crisis she is in Pretty sure the PoW (also thought prisoner of war!) knows how to hold a baby, seeing as she's had three of her own and had to stand in front of the world media hours later holding them on the hospital steps.

Her and her husband famously do everything for thier kids, they didn't even have a nanny when they first became parents.

A baby that could possibly be dropped wouldn’t feel at all secure in your hood. She’s 100% fine here, release thine pearls.

*hold

I got the right generation but when I read PoW I thought it meant William

The original Sloane Ranger Handbook refereed to the then Prince and Princess of Wales (Charles and Diana) as the PoW and PoWess

She obviously has had more practice than you OP!!

Probably “The sugars”?

In the extremely unlikely event that she did drop the baby, I'm sure someone would have caught it. Looks perfectly fine to me, in any case.

Perfectly fine way to hold a baby. I held all three of mine like that and they managed to survive.

My cousin is paralysed down the left side, she never once dropped her babies on the floor despite only having one functioning arm.
i think people you don’t even know will be doing things you don’t even know about with their babies and still their babies survive.

That's the arm round, holding onto a chunky thigh baby-hold isn't it? Baby's a bit big for full on under the bum support.

You'd freak if you saw how we used to just tuck DS2 under one arm tummy down like holding a rugby ball! - but he was perfectly secure and happy, liked being able to see where he was going.

He examines the bridge, and reckons it can take their weight, despite the bomb damage.
The baby starts to cry, piercingly now, and it’s clear she needs changing.
The POW being a practical man washes the baby in the river, and dries her with his scarf, and realises that a young baby is not easy to care fir without a change of clothes.
He has no idea what to feed her, Is she able to eat solid food?
Where is her Mother?
He knows instinctively the baby is hungry and thirsty, so decides to head for the nearest town, where a woman might be able to help him..
