Holding a new baby can be daunting if you've never done it before, or even if it's been a while since you have. New Zealand Dad, Jordan Watson has created an instructional (and cute) video that not only shows you how to hold a baby but also demonstrates 17 different ways to do so. After starting out with the basics - 'Standard Shoulder Hold' and 'Reverse Standard Shoulder Hold' - he quickly moves on to the practical - 'Need To Pick Something Up Chin Standard Shoulder Hold' - followed by the more complex carries - 'The Show Off To The Other Dads Superman'. Jordan uses a real baby in his tutorial but don't worry, "no babies were harmed in the making of this video" he assures us. Here is a list of the 17 holds: 1. Standard Shoulder Hold 2. Reverse Standard Shoulder Hold 3. Need To Pick Something Up Chin Standard Shoulder Hold 4. Baby Jesus 5. Double Baby Jesus 6. Stinky Nappy For Me 7. Stinky Nappy For You 8. Box Of Beers 9. The Telephone 10. The Dance Partner 11. Bird On A Wire 12. Poor Man's Front Pack 13. Hide Ya Beer Belly 14. The Rugby Ball Hold 15. The Other Rugby Ball Hold 16. The Show Off To The Other Dads Superman 17. Show Off to The Other Kids Fish You can see the holds demonstrated in the video below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-kHBU28CTQ
