Mums dancing with babies video. I was on edge!

[zoomer455]

Wow my daughter just showed me this video on you tube.

It's ok it was on Ukraines got talent so not X rated!!

The babies didn't see distressed but I could bring myself to watch.

That is horrific.

I had to stop watching once they started swinging them by the arms. I looked so dangerous!

I’ve seen this before on the news, quite a few years back. Was being touted as ‘baby yoga’ or some such crap by some woman in Russia.

If I remember rightly there were huge concerns raised then. Will see if I can find a link

Found it.

Fuck me. That's horrendous.

That's made me feel sick, wtf is wrong with them!? God knows what happened in the rehearsals for that routine.

WTF!!

I'm as bemused by this as the next person, but think it's worth pointing out that the babies are not distressed in anyway, they seem to be enjoying it.

"Seem to be enjoying it"
The babies are not aware of any dangers.

I wonder if those babies are in early training to be gymnasts. (I think it's horrendous, btw)

Awful. Turned my stomach.

Awful.

Actually, the clip is fine...the babies aren't distressed.

But how many people could pick a baby up and 'just' do those types of swings, first time, perfectly? None I imagine.

It's the practice that worries me. How many times did they have to work on it, before it was perfected? Poor babies.

That was horrible! Sure way to a dislocated shoulder!! Why would they do that? It’s not even a talent! They weren’t in time with each other.

Agree with everyone. Horrendous. Also, how exactly is this a talent?

What???

How does this even happen? How does any mother think, "ooh I know what's a great idea" - and THEN find three other idiots to with babies to agree with her?

Rinoa - i remember the Russian baby yoga. I couldn't watch it, it was so distressing. And I normally have guts of steel!

I really hope no one copies this
We just know that people will copy this as there are so many thickos around. I can imagine all the limbs torn from sockets and heads bashed on floors, and the stupid parents wailing that they were just dancing with their babies.

Omg

Couldn’t watch it all either

If that bothers you then don’t watch the hardcore baby swinging stuff. Babies especially in the circus from birth thing are introduced to that early on.

I've never seen a single person yet pick a baby up from her/his cot or pram by the arms, and yet somehow this lot thinks it's acceptable because it's a kind of dance routine.

Very uncomfortable viewing. That arm yanking looks really dangerous.

WTF!

I'm shocked at that. I had to stop watching when they started doing the solos. What are they thinking?

Waaaaaaaaaaa nope nope nope!!!

That made my shoulders ache :(

Wow, I couldn't even watch all of that

I popped my wee boys elbow when he was about 6 months and he could pull himself to standing, he wasn't always strong enough to stay up and he crumpled one time and I gripped out of surprise and fear to try and stop him falling over into me. I cried all the way to the drs who gave it a wee wiggle and popped it straight back in but I still feel absolutely awful. This just seems utterly daft to me as I was gripping my baby in about the same place and was never as careless as this and still caused injury. I guess I was unlucky but that just seems careless.

I have to say though all the mums have killer figures I'm very jealous.
