@Former-Member I'm just having a panic attack and wanting to know why I would do the crotch hold on baby. So can we just reassure me and go through why it's fine and that it's not harmful and the fact you've done it too and it's totally ok and the baby was not harmed by the crotch hold. Can we just go through that please

hey sweetie, have a quick look at how this DOCTOR is holding the baby.
@Lotusgirl you hold baby anyway the baby is comfortable providing it is safe and the couch hold is more than safe.
I want you to sit somewhere comfy and place a hand on your belly and take take five slow deep breathes down to your hand. I really hope this helps.
By the way I am Nikki, one of Izzy's alters.

Oh Nikki I am so sorry to hear that but glad you were able to share it with me. Just know that I am here now for you and I will stay with you as long as it takes. What are you feeling at the moment? Have you tried any distraction tactics? Is there anything you know works to help calm those thoughts? @Former-Member

@Former-Member hi Nikki/Izzy please forgive me as I get used to this platform. By alter what do you mean?
Yes in that video I love how he's doing the crotch hold and they said oh it's magic how he calmed the baby. So by that logic how could it be harmful. Not harmful it's it's actually good for the baby. And you did it on your babies?
Can U also just explain what you mean by Nikki being an alter just so I'm polite and address the person correctly
