Current Affairs “Baby flying” course shocks parents, country’s paediatricians
Many television viewers in the Czech Republic this week were shocked by a Czech TV broadcast reporting on a highly controversial and until now largely unknown method of exercising with newborns, so-called baby flying, offered by a children’s centre in the Czech capital. Images in the report showed naked babies being swung or twirled through the air by their parents – sometimes holding their child by just the legs or by a leg and an arm. Proponents say the exercises benefit babies’ health, but paediatricians are warning the opposite – that the method poses considerable health risks.
