#There is a dispute amongst the Poskim whether or not one may wind up a baby swing on [[Shabbos]]. While R' Moshe Feinstein ZT"L<ref>Sefer Tiltulei [[Shabbos]] 1: footnote 36 </ref> prohibits it on the account that it is similar to winding a watch that has stopped (which is prohibited), there are many others who are lenient, as unlike a watch, when a swing is not in motion it is not considered "broken", so winding it up is not considered "fixing" it.<ref>Shemirat Shabbat KeHilchata 17:39</ref> See [[Electricity_on_Shabbat#Watches]] and [[Makeh Bpatish]] and for more details. | #There is a dispute amongst the Poskim whether or not one may wind up a baby swing on [[Shabbos]].

# It is forbidden to pick up a baby or child who is holding money. <ref> Hazon Ovadia, Page 170. The reason given is that the money might fall and one will pick it up accidentally. </ref> However, it is permitted to shake the child's hand in order to make the muktzeh fall so that carrying will become permissible. <ref> S"A 309:1. Shaking the child's hand out of fear for losing money in the child's hand is still prohibited. </ref> | |||
