General concern on posture
I have made my 1 month old baby sit with a pillow support 2-3 of times during a photoshoot (lasted for a couple of minutes or so). Will it cause any harm? Just concerned...
Also my baby loves to sleep while carried on shoulders.. doing so her bum is placed on my hand. Will it put any pressure on her waist/spine? I also hold her neck and head firmly so she gets the support. Please help me with both of my concerns... please!!!

Making her sit for 2-3 times will not harm her waist . And holding her on shoulders will not harm her spine . But try to not hold her continuously. If she is doing fine and no other issues than u need not be worried
Next Steps
Try to lay baby in all positions . If u find any abnormality u observe please do let us know
Health Tips
Any further issues or concern please consult paediatrician .

Not a problem unless you are supporting her neck.
Be gentle while handling the baby.
Health Tips
Babies attain complete neck holding by 3-4 months. So they need support till then.
