Brief Answer:
Muscular pain

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

Pain you got when you picked up the child could be a muscular pain. Inter-coastal muscle fibers sometimes get squeezed between the ribs giving rise to sharp pain in the chest. This is very common and need no intervention.

Regular exercise may prevent such recurrences.

Hope, I answered your query.

Wish you good health.
