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.
That doesn't look right to me.

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??
I think that is one of the newborn reflexes but I am wondering if they have spliced together scenes with an actual baby and a doll.

it is real! CRAZY
Crazy and STUPID!
ugh what is wrong with people???
that is insane
Poor baby! And the torture just goes on and on for 5 minutes! Is she her mother?
OMG :( I was cringing while watching. I feel so bad for that baby:(
That's horrible, is this not baby abuse?
That doesn't look healthy at all for baby, imo. I have seen some videos with babies being swung up by the legs but the babies are older (and I don't think I'd try it). That looked almost unreal... little babies need to be snuggled close!
