If you need guidance on safe and healthy ways to interact with your baby, consult with your pediatrician or healthcare provider.

2. Head or spine injuries: The baby's neck and spine are not strong enough to withstand the force of being tossed.
3. Broken bones: The baby's bones are soft and can fracture easily.
4. Shaken baby syndrome: This can cause brain damage, blindness, or even death.
5. Injury or death: In extreme cases, throwing a baby in the air can result in fatal head or neck injuries.
