Technolog - Baby-swinging video freaks out parents, the Internet

I have to admit, this is scary to watch.

Quote:
The video, called "Baby Yoga with Lena Fokina," made its way to YouTube and is now — surprise! — driving the denizens of the Web (parents and otherwise) into a frenzy of speculation, outrage, fear and more speculation. The video was removed by YouTube, but other similar videos of baby-swinging were still live elsewhere online.

what a nutball. this will eventually cause damage and/or dislocation to one of the joints. AND, you are not going to be able to ask the baby "Where does it hurt?" Very dangerous.

Notice how the baby hold himself very rigid. Obviously, this little one has done these "exercises" before.

That is kinda sickening but they don't shake the baby hard back and forth that makes the head do a whiplash. I still don't see how this is good though. No guarantee the won't drop the baby, plus it looks like it would hurt the arm sockets. Yuck.

This is the classic way to cause dislocation/fracture of the forearm bone. It sometimes requires surgical repair.
