this has made me physically sick...

[JjandtheBeanlovesUnicorns]

Dp and myself were watching russell howards good news last night on bbc3.

(warning its a real baby)

when clip was shown.

both of us felt sick and couldnt watch, dp asked me to put it to you... as we found it completely shocking and couldnt beleive it existed let alone shown on a bbc channel!

whats the question

yes its shocking

russel howard rocks

What is it? I can't watch!

(i love russel howard)

dps friend couldnt see why we were so horrified and said if its on bbc it cant be that dangerous, aibu to feel sick thinking about it and think it shouldnt be shown on tv

Yes, have seen it before.

Odd

That is awful. What kind of person thinks it's OK to do that????

its called baby yoga and the baby is swung around quite roughly

Aha, I've seen this!

Yes, it looks horrific doesn't it. The baby seems fine though. Although, you have to wonder how you train a novice to do baby yoga. With some sort of doll?!

can you give a precis for those of us who dont want to click

I've seen that clip before and I think it's awful.

A two week old baby being flung about in the name of 'baby yoga'. By one limb sometimes, twisted round, over her head, all really really quickly.

I heart Russell Howard!

Thats disgusting abusing a baby like that. Its nothing like yoga, well the yoga i do with a certified yoga instructer.

Didn't have the sound on, but quite frankly that is not normal. DH just said so too..........

It certainly doesn't look safe! Babies are meant to be cuddled, not flung around like flour sacks.

It's one of the weirdest things I've seen in a while. Just why??? Baby 'yoga'? Babies don't need yoga! It's absurd and clearly dangerous and they are extremely lucky that the child suffered no ill effects. Totally bizarre.

Looks like one of those lifelike dolls to me {shrugs}

its a doll

There are other vids with children that you can tell are real. I have always been unsure if the one in the op's link is real or not.

Its not real.

I doubt its real.

I thought 'baby yoga' was for babies over 6 months when they love being thrown around (not that I've seen the clip). DS has spent most of the last few days begging to be carried upside down...
