Oh my! I don't know about that. It seems like the child would just be so dizzy and throw up afterwards! I thought we had evolved past this and it seems this sort of practice should be reserved for the monkeys in the trees!
I guess if I was thrown all around from 2 weeks old, I wouldn't be afraid of some situations but I just don't understand the practice so I don't know how else to comment on it!
My first thought was shaken baby syndrome or arm socket issues. I can't imagine risking that with a baby
Yeah, better not miss.
My first thought was shaken baby syndrome too. It was just wrong on so many levels!
That looks like it would hurt the poor baby's arms :(
Who the hell decides it a good idea to whip an infant around?? If you look really closely, at one point the baby's face is red and it looks like she is crying. That's a pretty clear sign that baby does not enjoy that.
I really turned it off after the first minute, I couldn't even watch it once she started swinging the baby by the arms.Quote:

looks like snopes is looking into it maybe?
Does it look normal for a 2 week old to put their feet down walking like that? Isn't their natural reflex to draw their feet up??
