What Are The Dangers Of Spinning Babies By Arms And Legs?
I recently saw a video of a man spinning a new born baby by the arms and legs extremely rapidly. Too fast to ascertain what condition the new born was in. As a lay person this seems extremely dangerous. Could you please tell me if my concerns are founded and what are the dangers of spinning babies in such a way? Thank you

Hi...if its in WhatsApp I too saw the video. Its extremely dangerous to do so as it can cause intracranial bleeds and permanent brain damage in kids. I was aghast after seeing thatvideo. YYour fears are 100% correct. Its very dangerous to do so yo infants.
