Bathing a newborn baby is a daunting experience. Their tiny bodies feel ever so fragile in an adult's hands. Some parents prefer to wipe their babies down with a cotton swab. Others prefer to hold their babies in very little water and gently wash them.
The following video offers a different technique and many people, both parents and non-parents, are very upset by it.
Watch the video below...
Now read the reactions:
After being posted on a popular Facebook page, the comments were rather shocking. Many people had something negative to say (as the Internet tends to invoke) and voiced their disapproval of the video.
We think the angry Internet folk are overreacting. This baby is obviously calm, relaxed and loving the bath. The little one even has a nap at one point! But with over 7 million views on YouTube and almost 1000 comments on Facebook, not everyone is going to approve.

- That was irresponsible of her to be putting the newborns face underwater. Sure it looks loving and sweet and whatever, but its not safe. Video p*ssed me off honestly. Exploiting a baby by handling it irresponsibly with some easy listening backtrack over it for what? Internet publicity. SMH. - Cory
- I am a mother of 7 and that was more frightening to me than relaxing, calm or tender for that matter! My heart kept racing! I don't know bout other mothers but when I bathe my little one I wanna bathe them and get them out of the water before they catch a chill.- Nikkiey
- Someone's gonna watch this video then go home and drown their baby :( - Joel
- This video had me scared the whole time I was panicking thinking the baby would drown!! Oh no!! - Astrid
- Ugh! So much water went inside the baby's ears!! - Yahely
- I had 3 kids and never did I ever put their ears under water or let the water run on their head and face or make them almost go under water like in this video. It's a sweet video but a little creepy. - Honey
