Yikes.

When my babies were 2 weeks old, they were constantly swaddled and carried in my sling carrier. They began moving around on their own time without my help, and when they did, I gave them space to do do.

I couldn't do this.

What would you do if you saw someone doing this like, say, at a park? Would you intervene? Or mind your own business? I don't think I could walk away or stand and watch.

Let's be honest, folks:

That is not Yoga. It is child abuse. Plain and simple.

I'm a notorious "buttinsky." So knowing me I'd walk up and start engaging a conversation with the woman while telling my husband to call DCFS after getting video on his phone.

There's no way I'd try to use force (that would likely hurt the baby). But I'd do what I can to redirect the woman's attention to the point where she'd stop swinging the baby around. Probably ask her if she could get something from her purse/bag sitting on the ground. I wouldn't be confrontational (I'll let DCFS do that), but make attempts at conversation for the sole purpose of getting her to stop.

I heard that to pick up a baby by it's arms can cause dislocation and I believe it. To swing it is retarded imo.
