Their pediatrician recommended letting them fall while in the initial stages of learning to stand and grab for support? You don’t have the pediatrician’s name or office # do you?
Why was he talking to his boss about his pediatricians recommendations for learning to walk anyway if he doesn’t have a kid? This doesn’t smell like bullshit to you? Lack of critical thinking wild out here
Uhh, I’ve had conversations with my coworkers about their kids and how they’re doing. One even mentioned taking them to the doctor and how it went after they missed a meeting for it when we were talking. It’s not that unusual, some people establish social connections at work that aren’t solely based on work.
Okay, so why is there suddenly this barrier between him asking his boss for a referral for the pediatrician, and the boss sharing intimate details of the pediatricians medical advice in regards to raising the child!
Well for one, if you don’t have kids, it’s weird to ask for a referral to a pediatrician lol
All I’m saying is that one of my coworkers talked about the kids doctor visit and what’s been going on and what the doctor said, it’s not that out of the ordinary. It’s not even the first time. I tend to make friends with coworkers and we share parts of our lives that aren’t necessarily related to work.
Most know about my medical issues too, which are aplenty. Most know things about my partner from stories I’ve told, and I know things about theirs.
Man seems like you’re searching for ways to make that real, when it’s obviously fake, and the posting account is silent after getting called out for bottery. Should we call the sleuth-bot out?
Uhh wat. I’m just saying it’s not out of the realm of possibility, as I’ve had coworkers do and say the same things before.
If I had to guess, the posting account is being silent because they don’t want to engage with you. You’re being extremely confrontational and dismissive. Not something people usually want to jump headfirst into.
It doesn’t have any salient points, posts trash articles for engagement, and doesn’t even have a strong argument to make: “at this developmental stage you shouldn’t be holding their hands.”
What? What in the goat-fucking wilderness is this all even about?
No sound medical advice from licensed pediatricians has been presented
No research studies with data salient to the above topic has been presented
Nothing useful comes out of this.
Brooo look at all these ratio’s, comment heavy engagement bot accounts, they’ll post anything contrary to reason and the actual recommendations of real pediatricians to drive comments.
But what they've said is not wrong. It's common advice from pediatricians. Your response shows a concerning level of paranoia when there's no real evidence that any of the people you are talking to are bots. You think they're bots just because you disagree with them?
I’m not saying it isn’t, but you’re acting like the downvotes are an indication of botting. I’m just telling you why people are downvoting. I doubt someone found your comments important enough to engage a voting bot.
No luck needed, I’ve got it down. Insulin pumps are fantastic. Routinely told I have the best metrics they’ve seen when I go into the office and they review my stats. And have zero complications.
….I used to be an MA in a pediatrician’s office in Boston. The doctors absolutely do tell parents it is okay to let your child fall while they are learning to walk. If they can stand, they will be okay to fall back down. Their body mass is not enough to cause much damage from such short distance.
Baby-proofing that staircase for a kid learning to walk might be a good start, how many kids did you see with massive facial disfigurement from impacts from falling while learning to walk?
That has nothing to do with the statement the doctor made. Yes you should be baby proofing your house. No one is arguing that. What the doctor’s statement means is that they can fall from standing or walking on a regular floor without much risk of injury.
Yes; this is a normal developmental process. The initial situation I was responding to was the presumption that letting a baby fall all over a location that has not been baby-proofed while learning to walk would be dangerous, and everyone is making incomplete assumptions based on that. The steps are dangerous, the table could be dangerous if the baby knocks into the chair and the chair topples over on them; the mother is not reacting in this video like she is cognizant of those dangers, which leads one to question the “first steps” and randomness of the camera placement. There’s not even a playpen or other toys visible, prompting the idea that the largest stimuli in the room is mom and the vacuum, prompting the baby to move towards them rather than crawling towards a toy or something easier.
Blatantly false, commenter has posts dating years back, and their comments are all always both consistent and logical.
Divisive, easily debunkable statement
Let's return to the commenter's original statement and see if it is really divisive and easily debunkable, as you claim.
My boss has a baby that just started crawling. They were worried about him falling. Their doctor said that it’s okay to let the baby fall from however high he could get himself off the ground without climbing.
So if the baby can stand up on its own like this, then it’s okay to let him fall on his own.
Commenter is just posting what they'd heard through a conversation with their boss. They respectfully provide the advice that they heard. They did not posit an opinion or directly attack someone else's (your) opinion. They merely stated this particular doctor's recommendation. Their comment is not divisive in any way, until you flipped that arbitrary switch in your head that somehow makes you feel incredibly personally attacked. You jump in, already hyper-confrontational, aggressively and patronizingly questioning them. When they respond, still respectfully, you arrogantly claim "this is fiction and you’re making up shit."
Furthermore, you say that their claim is easily debunked. You have not provided a single piece of evidence debunking their claim. If it were really so easy to debunk, then let's go ahead and see your evidence!
Corroborated by “employee of a friend/associate”
True statement. So what? Perhaps you've never heard of people having normal conversations with their friends because you've never had any friends to begin with ;)
No relatable personal experience
Um, do you know what relatable means? You ain't got a baby, so how tf are you expecting to relate to what commenter is saying?
Of course, in the end I also have no clue whether the commenter is really a bot or not. But your evidence and reasoning are easily debunked! :D
P.S. I hope you someday learn how insufferable you are :)
My boss and I are a two person department, and we get along well. We talk to each other about stuff outside of work, because that’s a thing normal people do. He’s excited to be a dad and likes to talk about his baby, so we end up talking about the baby sometimes.
I didn’t respond for about nine hours because I was at work.
