because this is staged and babies don't typically do this type of thing. Her reaction tells it all if you've ever had a kid. They spend weeks standing like this, and for her to be so surprised by her kid standing is telling.

This is such a good point. My first thought was that even my daughter took her first steps, it was like two steps and then she fell down. The kid in this video takes a lot of steps for it being their first time. I was immediately skeptical.

Also, it was proceeded by many weeks of standing and supporting herself with furniture. No surprise to just stand up.

Mind you, I have 2 children (a two year old and a seven year old), our son when he first started walking did the exact behavior in the video. He stood up and propelled himself forward taking 4-5 steps and then falling over, and we have that on video because he was trying to stand up but we had no idea he'd be taking his first steps too.

I'm not saying what I see is not possible, it's not outside the realm of possibilities.

Yup this. You know about when they are going to take their first steps. So our youngest we started to record our play sessions. It’s really not that out of the ordinary.

(We don’t have our oldest since we didn’t have easy access to video in phones back then)

I agree, she totally gave the baby the script and spent 10 hours filming hoping the baby would follow the instructions

What script? a baby standing up like normal? A baby walking towards mom like normal? Yea, takes a lot of skill to capture that moment for sure!

This is so cynical lol. Nothing ever happens.

I work with kids in the hospital, I also just had a kid and they're in the walking stage. This is VERY clearly staged for clicks. If you can't see that, that's a you problem. If you enjoy the video, then that's ok too.

I have two kids, and I think the video is entirely believable.

Just saying buddy, you’re speaking in absolutes as if there is no way this could be plausible. I’m only saying that it is plausible. Try to relax lol.

I'm fully relaxed, just your comment makes no point. Again, if you enjoy the video then good for you. If you're here to argue then maybe you should find a better hobby?
