Its not so much injuring them its that more pressure is required as they have better muscle tone and can resist the popping motion so its more likely to get a false reading or use excessive pressure when they resist. Probing has its drawbacks too but is a lot more reliable on adults than popping. Knowing what you are doing is what makes it safe.

just one more lil note. its easy when they are about 9-14 inches after that you are better to get them probed. apartly you can injure them more when their bigger

Thats the best way to look at it and many other procedures for that matter.

if you have to ask, then no.

It is easy, but also easy to do it wrong and cause damage (and get poo'd on!) so if you can get someone to show you how, you'll get the hang of it quickly.

its best to be done by an experianced person, and a lot start off with a known male so u know what to look for
