This may be the saving grace all new parents are looking for. An American paediatrician claims to have found a miracle way of holding an infant to make it stop crying. 或许这正是广大初为父母之人苦求的福音。一位美国儿科医生声称，自己找到了一种神奇的方法，只要托住婴儿，就能让他停止哭泣。 Dr Robert C Hamilton, of California, says his technique, dubbed 'The Hold', works every time without fail. 这名加利福尼亚的医生名叫罗伯特·C·汉明顿，他将自己的这种技法称为“斜托法”，他说这种方法非常有效，百试不爽。 He picks up the child, folds his or her arms across the chest and holds this tight, lifting the baby's bottom with the other. 他抱起婴儿，让他或她双臂交叉在在胸前，然后一直手托在婴儿前胸，另一只手托住婴儿的臀部，把婴儿举起来。 Holding the baby at a 45 degree angle with both hands, he then lifts the baby up and down, rocks it back and forth and 'shakes the little booty'. 双手这样以45°斜角托着婴儿，然后托着婴儿上下晃动，前后摇晃，“摇摇小屁股”。 'Everything you do is very gentle, you don't want to do any jerky motions ever,' Dr Hamilton advices. “做每个动作都必须非常轻柔，绝对不要有任何鲁莽的动作，”汉明顿医生这样建议到。 |
