It's okay to risk breaking your baby's neck as long as it's fun for you and will take a good picture
As long as the baby has control of their head and neck & isn't a squirmy worm, it's usually fine! You're not leaving them up on a ledge alone or anything— you're literally holding them.
It's okay if folks don't want to risk it with their kids due to their own preferences & trust in their strength and/or the child's temperament. I used to do it when my kid was tiny! But I get if people don't feel comfortable doing it with their own kids.
There's a higher risk of your baby injured in a car accident, tbh.
Okay first off, I'm not going to go stop a parent or interfere with another person doing this. But my opinion is that it's stupidly dangerous and your defense of it falls flat (pun intended).
Babies can abruptly startle and squirm at those ages pictured. I've been cradling a baby in my arms and had them randomly fling themselves backwards (I didn't drop them because I was holding onto them).
Second, they are holding the baby by a onesie and a diaper. The onesie can snap, stretch, fall off, and so can the diaper. I wouldn't risk a 7ft or higher fall with a baby with that. They can easily break their neck. There's a reason rollercoasters and rides don't just restrain you by a velcro diaper and a onesie- they aren't generally meant to hold the weight of a person/baby.
Babies can play many many many many many other ways besides this way, and they will have just as much fun. There's no real reason to do this. Ever. It's so much risk for literally no extra reward.
Sure, a child under 15 is also more likely to die in a car accident than in an accidental drowning. Yet it remains, along with injuries, to be one of the leading causes of child mortalities. Kids are likely to die in fires and from gunshots too (also in the top 5 leading causes of death), a little less likely to die from those than car accidents, yet I'm not going to let my kids play with guns or fires just because they are less likely to kill them than a car accident.
just as long as we're on the same page
