Prince shows how one should not hold a baby
A PHOTO of Prince William cuddling a three-week-old girl has been used by maternity staff in Edinburgh to highlight how not to hold newborn babies.
The picture, which was put up at the at the Simpson Memorial Maternity Pavilion, shows the 24-year-old prince cradling a baby during a recent visit to a London hospital.
But staff in Edinburgh have highlighted mistakes made by the prince - including exposing the baby to bacteria by not rolling his sleeves up and putting her at risk of cross-contamination by sitting too close to a sink - and turned the picture, later taken down, into an unofficial baby-holding guide for nurses and visitors.
Health officials have confirmed the warning poster "had not gone through the proper channels".
