| Jan 11, 2014 at 10:50 | comment | added | deworde | @Dariusz How old is she? It certainly shouldn't be an issue for her spine, and if you're pulling hard enough to wrench her shoulders... don't. | |
| Jan 10, 2014 at 19:00 | comment | added | Dariusz | I put my thumbs under her armpits and still support her head with other fingers - but her head is definitely steady and does not slump at all. I was more worried about lifting her like that having negative influence on her shoulders or spine. I just started doing this - she definitely didn't seem upset or afraid, but rather curious and (positively) surprised. | |
