Pick Up and Holding Baby

Chances are you've never held a newborn before your own first baby. Holding her may seem intimidating at first, though it becomes easier as you get the hang of it and as your baby grows and develops muscle tone. Newborns are floppy creatures whose neck muscles aren't strong yet, and they squirm. If you have trouble finding a comfortable way to hold your newborn at first, and it seems like your baby's crying a lot of (it's an adjustment for her, too), don't worry. In time she'll fit into your arms as if she was meant to be there.

Human infants, like other mammals, need to be touched and held in order not only to be comforted but to insure proper brain development.

@asianpridefOru While, I agree that 15 is too young, I would disagree that there is a best age to have a baby. For some it may mid twenties, but for others it could be late thirties or so.

Was trying to learn how to bath a newborn, but then the videos made me very anxious. I think it's better for me to learn sth more basic first.

yes you are too young to have a baby,but you have to face the consequence of your action.you made a mistake by being pregnant so early but dont commit another mistake by having your baby aborted,there is a God that can see you and you will never escape the guilt once you do that.

unless you are sure yo will have enough support from your parents and your finacially secure, and you are willing to give up your whole teenage life for this baby, then have it and keep it. otherwise, have an abortion, or put the baby up for adoption. :) i wish you the best 1234xxstep.
