Kids put parents in boxes. Kid in picture probably giggles like crazy when dad does this. If a kid wants to ride her little tykes bike down her little tykes slide, she’s much more likely to try it first with one parent over the other.

As a dad of a newborn, they are not really that fragile. When changing their diapers I just use one hand to hold one leg to lift up. I asked a doctor about this, and he said it's no problem She does not care, she has a fun time with me switching diapers. Can't do it when shes older though.

Just protect their necks and head, besides that they are robust.

[–] J92@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Even their necks are wild.

The writer and ex-doctor Adam Kay wrote in his book "This is Going to Hurt", about his time in the maternity ward of an NHS hospital in the 2000s, that he would find it funny, visiting friends and their new kids and his friends reminding him to support the neck and stuff, when in the past he has had forceps around the head of a child and has leaned back with his full weight trying to assist in the removal of a child trapped in the birth canal, and both baby and mother coming out of it completely fine.

There is some trauma associated with that type of forceps extraction. There’s definitely some damage to the baby’s skull and mother’s vaginal canal. However most of the time there will be no long term issues. It’s only used if the birth is going poorly.

I am a mom, but used to sometimes carry my oldest by her feet, in one hand, squirming like a fish, when she had a fit somewhere out in the world when she was toddler age. The change of perspective seemed to help. That kid also ended up being an acrobat.

My brother always held babies so awkwardly, even his own, it was funny.

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 3 points 10 hours ago

My two year old finds being held up by the feet funny so this will sometimes literally end a tantrum with laughter.

I'm a full-grown adult and hanging upside down & doing flips absolutely is my antidepressant & mood regulator!

I wish someone could carry ME around like this.

Yeah sorry mate, most I can do is spend years of my life mastering the art of suspension bondage

[–] WhoIzDisIz@lemmy.today 9 points 1 day ago

Just building up the kid's imagination by helping him "fly."

[–] HeyJoe@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

It's like an animal carrying their cubs.

We used to call it the baby briefcase!

I mean, that's more Uncle energy to be honest....
