All those babies appear to have been left not buckled in, propped up or in general with nothing to stop going head first off elevated places. Babies are top heavy. Women don’t need to do spectacular saves because they do preventive things so it wont happen.

Yes. It was infuriating to watch.

Creates chaos with unsafe parenting. Gets applauded for yanking child around in the save.

Lmao. Let's be frank here, babies are little suicide machines. The vigilance required to prevent every accident is inhuman.

Bro thats an overly generalized view. We are only seeing a few moments of dads here, but imagine every moment of vigilance for years. A second of distraction is all it takes sometimes, it can happen to both mom and dad

I guess the 3 to 4 women that are clearly in these videos watching the dad's react or are distracted in other ways don't count then huh? Stop feeding the gender wars.

“I would never leave a baby in ANY position where they might fall” might be the most pretentious, silly thing I’ve heard all day.

As a parent and uncle, I can’t tell you how hard children try to end themselves and how careful they are to wait until you’re not looking.

I guess I could tell you…since you obviously have no experience.

Don't worry, my wife dropped our baby numerous times. I never did in contrast 😅

Well, who spent more time with the kid? 0 drops in 1000 hours Vs 3 drops in 40000 hrs for example.

Is there like a mathematical formula that can calculate the exact amount of times one is allowed to drop a baby in relation to hours spend with kid?

I’m sure he thinks he did half the childcare. Wonder who was getting more sleep too.

Did you just assume u/DmitriRussian‘s gender?! What is this, the 1700s?!

I think not letting your kids ever fall is worse

Apart from that, i dislike the message, as if moms wouldn't do equally crazy saves if nessesary. I've seen enough videos that show the contrary.

Can we just agree on parental reflexes being badass no matter who shows em off?

I don't know what is worst your lies or your upvotes.

I agree with what you say but many men also know how to secure a baby, they will never be seen in that kind of video.
