Stupid Question?

lewispm

This may seem really stupid, but my sister is a PA and is always telling me this stuff and I never can tell if she is messing with me or not!

Anyway... she recently told me (while I was poking around on my belly to get baby to move) that I shouldn't poke him because I might hit the soft spot on his head and cause brain damage. Now I know she was probably exaggerating a bit with the brain damage, but the soft spot part seemed to make sense.

So the question is: Can I harm my baby in anyway by poking him back when I feel him up against the outside of my belly? And could I really hit the soft spot on his head?

Thanks!
