Omg! Thats gotta be fake surely, thats horrible and i really hope no one ses that and tries it out!!

Jen it's all over the place. I think it's fake but that is so scary.

This is an interview with the lady in the video.

I can't see it I can only imagine lol

OMG its real??? It's sick thats what it is! She bloody swings that baby round head for gods sake! She needs to be done for child cruelty. Although the baby doesnt actually look distressed by it does it?

I dont know, i just think its very wrong and disturbing

I still don't think it's real Jen. Or at least I really hope it isn't

I'm sat here looking at my baby girl thinking how could anyone do that

That interview is disturbing as the woman seems warped and thinks swinging a baby by its ankles around your head is somehow beneficial and helps them be good readers and talkers earlier?!? wtf? Honestly that woman is very strange

I think this is the same woman.

Seems its not just a one off

OMG I hope those videos are fake.
But if you look carefully at the second video, the baby's legs are kicking as it is hauled up out of the water.

I dont think they are Yogi That link i posted is an interview with the guy who taught that woman and others, the ice water sounds like a tourcher technique

It beggars belief that anyone can think this is beneficial to babies. It looks more like torture technique to me. Poor little babies

Thanx for spelling that properly i couldnt for the life of me work how to spell it lol

Oh no Jen, I wasn't correcting your spelling. I thought you meant there was a technique called tourcher.

It runs for a while but OMG!

Mother of god that's scary,how is that supposed to be beneficial to a fragile little baby....My DiL took my grandson to baby massage classes,thank's be to god Yoga wasn't on the agenda.

I really thought it was fake until I watched the 10 minute video.

I'm afraid to watch any more of it Longcat.

I had to switch it off, Longcat.
It looks like the wee souls are going to have their arms and legs pulled out of their sockets.

In the 10 minute one it shows the baby bigger and really enjoying it. But I can't get my head around how they are not injured.

That smotri video had me gasping at moments 3:40 i think it was (in the woods) 

I dont care if they do walk earlier (baby at the end) its not worth doing THAT

Jenstar, I have sent you a PM.

How is the latest addition Lee?

Aww Saz he's just adorable,I could eat him tbh....He's a real chunky Charlie,honest his legs are soooooo chubby it's difficult trying to get socks that don't dig into him,I've pre-warned them all that he will rule the roost,it's so obvious he's going to be very assertive.

After reading the comments I can't watch the vid links. I don't care what type of new fangled alternative exercise bollocks this woman wants to spout, swinging a baby round her head should be putting that woman in prison.

^^^^^ what Karma said, I can't even watch 

I don't blame some people for not wanting to watch. I have to confess I sat with my mouth wide open watching the first one but came to the conclusion it was a fake baby. Then I watched the 10 minute video and thought that that baby was a real one.

That is one sick woman. She needs locking up and never letting loose on society again.

Mine too Lee and they taught him baby sign language! But then my daughter is a qualified naturopath (bet I've spelt that wrong lol) and so she provides massage, acupuncture, homeopathy etc. I haven't watched the video but from what others have said it doesn't seem right. Even if the woman concerned knows what she is doing - and, by swinging a baby round by the ankles, it doesn't seem like it, that's one thing but some idiot will watch this and might do the same and end up killing or maiming a baby

Veg I watched a TV prog on baby sign language and was amazed tbh,there they were these little bundles communicating with their mothers,it was mind blowing I thought .What I saw in the Yoga videos just doesn't seem right though,as you say swinging babies by the ankles carries too high a risk,poor little darlins I know who I'd like to swing by the ankles, those doing it to the babies!.

You're right Lee (Hi btw xxx) And you just know that some sick piece of work might injure a baby on purpose and then say that they were just doing what they had seen on a baby yoga vid or some such
Re the sign language, the only thing I would say is I think it's made him slower to speak vocally although he is starting now. He was two last November. I guess he didn't need to make the effort as he could communicate what he wanted with signing. His little brother is due in a couple of weeks - and I expect the dil and son will do the same with him.
Lovely to see you anyway Lee, I haven't been to FB for ages since I got a bad virus from an app there

*agrees with Karma*

*agrees with Veggie*

I am such an agreeable person

Fake or real its to difficult to watch ,gave up half way through,its sick thats for sure.

Aww Veg congratulations on the new grandson,another bundle of love for you to enjoy....Perhaps it wasn't the signing that slowed your other grandsons vocal capabilities Veg,Eamon and Conor's dad was a lot slower than his brothers to speak tbh ,he was so darn easy going and laid back I think it was too much effort for him.Any road he soon caught up and off the 3 he was/is the most academically inclined ,in other words a born pen pusher 

Lovely to see you too Veg .

Here is a toddler smoking 40 a day!

OMG that is child abuse of the highest order Erin,will that darlin live to see his 5th birthday I wonder.

I have to admit, this made me feel a bit queasy.  Wrong, on so many levels.    What a freak doing that to a baby.  And the video above is disgraceful.

 I was shocked to the core when I seen it.

That first video is obviously a doll but JESUS!!!!

You'd pull their arms out the socket do that  Not to mention the puking and screaming. I'll stick to letting my wee man kick and grab. That's enough exercise for his wee limbs. 

In fact thinking about it......is that bordering on child abuse?
