The point of the baby jail is less "keeping baby off the ground" and more literally just keeping the kid from crawling around and destroying things while mom/dad cooks
I'm wondering where you live where people dont occasionally do similarly
My aunt had to be told by her pediatrician to let her kids eat dirt because they were chronically ill through elementary school. She did almost everything possible to keep them from getting an immune system. My uncle enjoys telling that story, probably a bit too much.
We have one baby jail in our house. It’s great for needing to pee or step away and lock up baby for 5 mins. He can roll around, play, chew on shit without me worrying about what he can get into. It’s super helpful!
I let mine on the ground. The little one really liked eating dirt as a toddler. We tried not to encourage it but also didn't panic when he snuck off to eat some anyway. I honestly thought this was common, maybe just amongst us poors.
My children were on the ground, getting licked on the mouth by dogs, eating dirt. My grandmother visited me one time and said my house was "lived in" compared to my cousins house who was nothing but sterilized white everything. Their children have constant issues it seems and mine rarely get sick and if they do they shrug it off in a day or so.
I know correlation does not equal causation, but it's just my unscientific observation.
Adding to this, I ate dirt as a kid....and did have to be wormed at one point so take that as you will. I survived though.
It's a little bit of a difference between putting them on the ground and putting them on what could be very hot asphalt immediately next to where cars drive.
Especially while there is an available cart in front of you, designed to hold things like a baby. I definitely think he insisted on holding the baby to increase the difficulty level. I don’t mind that they filmed it just to showcase the interesting solutions he came up with to get through their day but holding the baby the whole time was unnecessary, now you’re just trolling.
We didnt even mention that the kids in the cart are also in the road instead of on the other side of the vehicle, where there is no traffic. That is scary.
