Why do you bounce a baby?

Answer by  sarah1967 (626)

You may very gently bounce a baby to make them happy,but always be very careful and support the babies neck. You must be careful not to shake your baby.

Bouncing a baby too hard after they eat could be disruptive. But infants find a gentle bounce, more like a rocking motion, to be very soothing. It is comforting to a baby because it is similar to the rocking movement they would feel while they were still in the womb.
