Chest Appeal
Various photos of Lily on chests, both big and small:
Bernie demonstrates the two handed 'back booty' hold. One hand held on the square of the back, the other supporting the baby buttocks. A traditional hold favored by grandfathers and traditionalists.
Here is the father (until DNA tests prove otherwise) doing the old 'scared to move the sleeping baby off the chest for fear of waking them before the game is over' pose. Classic new dad!
Ron prefers the 'front facing cradle' hold. While providing less stability, it provides for a better view of the baby, and allows for quick transfers back to the parents in the event of a meltdown.
Susan chooses to support Lily with a hand to the back, while simultaneously using the arm of the couch to support her hand. This hold was made popular with the invention of the couch in the late 1980's and still remains relevant to this day.
Lastly, Katy demonstrates the tender motherly embrace, favored by 9 out of 10 babies in a recent nationwide study. Babies...so predictable!
