  • 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.


  • My brother used to balance his kids up in the air with one hand, singing out “March of the Gladiators” as he did. They love it!

    Only accident I’ve witnessed was when the father was a). intoxicated and b). around a lot of obstacles that could be easily tripped over (someone else caught the baby, don’t worry). Worst wedding I’ve ever attended.

    If you’re sober, not a moron, and in an open space, try it out! (assuming your child has hit the phase where they can easily support their own head & neck, of course).
