The link worked but the video didn't run properly(that's because of my PC).

It's a woman waving a baby around like. The woman looks pretty fit and muscular, maybe it's some sort of exercise routine?

I don't know could be but the baby didn't enjoy it :( don't know if you watched towards the end but she was holding the baby by one arm and swinging around her head :(

The link worked for me... Try this one. It looks painful, although the baby doesn't look too unhappy, to be fair. My very rusty russian skills say that the heading is "baby yoga - Plato and Lena". The site itself seems to be a russian version of youtube. The video description says (according to google translator, since my knowledge failed me here):

Dynamic Gymnastics ... Watching some unimaginable acrobatics with newborns and babies, natural to wonder what the point of this manipulation? As far as they are needed, useful, dangerous, all are compatible with health? What are the consequences? ... And if everything is OK

Oh right thanks for translating Grin just not used to seeing babies swung about like that lol

I'm up for all sorts but I can't actually watch this. Maybe there is no harm in it for the baby but even I wouldn't want to be swung around on one arm. Yes, they are very flexible but these sudden movements and quite rapid stretches can't be that good on the ligaments...

Very uncomfortable viewing.

brightlightsandpromises · 19/01/2011 22:51

not offended, just shocked beyond words

TheEvilDead2 · 19/01/2011 23:04

I am fairly sure thats not a real baby

TheEvilDead2 · 19/01/2011 23:09

I appear to be wrong. What the fuck.

who knew?

LadyOfTheManor · 20/01/2011 06:24

Ah, if you have Google Chrome it'll translate the page for you.

belleofbelfastcity · 20/01/2011 11:19

i couldn't watch it, his poor ribs sticking out from where she was yanking his arms up. awful. cruel. barbaric. abuse.

if it's real, it should be illegal.

Dragoncate · 22/01/2011 15:19

here's an interview with the woman swinging that poor baby! What horrific abuse!

GMajor7 · 22/01/2011 15:36

Wow. Was I the only one hoping for a poo explosion?

jazz412 · 22/01/2011 16:22

that was horrible. Looked like it really hurt the baby, couldn't watch it all but skipped to the end to make sure it was still alive - it was thankfully
Do they have social services in Russia - someone call them!

TheMonster · 22/01/2011 16:26

I don't think it's a real baby.

And there is only one woman. Not lots of women.

mommmmyof2 · 22/01/2011 16:39

I had to turn it off, little arms looked like they were going to pop out of the socket! I did question if it was a real baby too bodyofeeyore
But if it is then it is wrong, you don't pick a little baby up like that no matter what stupid gymnastics she was doing.FREAK!

nickelbabysnatcher · 22/01/2011 16:54

that was not comfortable for that baby - made me feel sick watching it.
i could only watch it for about 20 seconds before it got too much (and even then I had to force myself to continue)

:(

horrible

MissQue · 22/01/2011 17:04

What the hell???????????????????

hoolabombshell · 22/01/2011 17:42

Oh my god!

The poor babe went about 6 shades of purple, looked like it was crying at one point then just looked in shock. And just when you thought she had stopped, she would start swinging the poor little thing around again. I just want to punch her! Angry

darksideofthemooncup · 22/01/2011 18:02

This is viiiile , I thought it was a spoof too but am very disappointed to find out that it is real. Also, at risk of sounding flippant if you are going to fling a baby around like that, don't do it standing next to a rockery!!!

Anonymousbird · 22/01/2011 18:19

Oh jesus.
I could only watch a few seconds.
Is the music to drown out the screaming? His face looks contorted and as if crying.

She deserved in the first instance to get wee and poo all over her.

Is there a switch from a real baby to a convincing model?? Seriously??? I didn't watch enough, but surely it is some kind of fix up??

I feel slightly sick
