A ten year old would be looking at my newborn. Maybe touching. Not holding. After a little bit, I might let the kid SIT down and hold the baby for a couple minutes WHILE I WAS LOOKING AT HIM. And only then!! What is a ten year old doing running around the house with a helpless little baby???? How did you not notice that? Do you set the baby down and then walk away or something? I'm confused as to how this happens. I can't understand why a baby just barely born not even two months ago is being left unsupervised. That kid needs to understand that he can't play around with that baby until he's older. It really shouldn't even be questionable. That's not exactly what I would call safe, especially when you know all those awful things could happen if he drops him.

And your baby should be holding up his head long before six months.
