Every woman should see this. Learn this technique. Just look at the baby😂😂😂

That’s cute. Baby’s first software update. First lesson in independence. Next lesson: refusing help forever.

Teaching a child survival technique from the womb would have been the best time to start .

Teaching in a controlled environment is better than them not knowing when the need to

All I see here is a parent, present and near to the baby, teaching it a skill and making it fun. Why are people equating this to abuse? I find it very refreshing and quite nice tbh.

It was basically a game of peek-a-boo with a little airway obstruction, but seriously, she did wind up teaching him something, and, sadly, there are people out there not teaching their kids a damn thing, so ...

Babies have the survival instance of garlic bread. I don’t understand these silly trends.ugh

This is a TORTURE…!! A baby in that age is not smart enough to THINK properly 🤔

Babies are so smart!! I started teaching sign language for milk when l breastfed my baby at 4 months, by 8 months she was signing for milk instead of crying for it.

Intelligent mom

There’s nothing sweeter than the loving bond between siblings… so pure, tender, and full of heart ❤️

Nope - why would you deliberately cause distress to such a young baby like that? The only time a child that young would be left alone is when it is sleeping, and every mother knows not to put it into bed with loose clothing and bedding

See this bengali moms You guys ruin our Skills by taking care of us tooo much

Stop waterboarding your infant and be a parent.

It’s great 👍🏻 they will learn if you teach. Swimmming is another that should be dealt with very early in my opinion

makes sense, early awareness builds safety instincts

I see the problem. That first outfit was clearly holding him back

That kid after four years:

I think it's up to the parent, but I can see the benefits. Babies absolutely have survival instincts. Rooting, Moro reflex, sucking, grasping,, turning the head to one side when placed on tummy. Teaching this is better than plopping baby in front of screen.

Absolutely important. 👍🏽 Teaching babies to remove a cloth from their face builds early problem-solving skills and can be life-saving. Independence starts small.

The video is really cute and looks like a simple game (kind of like peek-a-boo), but it’s important to remember that newborn babies (especially under 6 months) don’t have reliable enough motor skills to remove anything covering their face every time, particularly while sleeping.

My Vietnamese friend says this lady is trying to teach the baby to discover its hands, not specifically to pull the cloth off its face. The cloth provides an unpleasant stimulation to give the child a reason to discover its hands. That’s why she keeps repeating “where are your hands?”

Play peekaboo when your baby is 9-10 months old and they’ll get the idea without the trauma and tears

Kids at that age don't understand...

Not old enough to understand this

Brain development is rapid, allowing babies to learn about communication, cause-and-effect, and motor skills.

Anyone complaining doesn’t have kids, this lady is doing a great job

This is awesome. She found a creative way to teach her baby a survival skill and helps with cognitive development.

Stupid stupid stupid. Don't put a cloth on your babies face you utter incompetent mother

Of course comment section is full of shit

What a smart little one. Mom’s laughing and turning it into a game, totally healthy incidental learning.

Lol, says a lot why China is where they are today. See yall calling it torture. These ppl do all they can to teach their kids something important even as an infant. We all saw the baby struggle at first , then get it later. Plz remind me how does African mothers feed their babies

Stupid and dangerous.

I like this. Babies are not as dumb as you think.
