Bug buddies are actually defending the fact levi fell in the bath as an accident and "accidents happen" and that oscar didnt need to drop the camera and run to help his child bc "buggy can hold his breath from all the swimming he and oscar do! He learned how and knows" A baby who is 1 years old ....HE DOESNT KNOW HOW TO HOLD HIS BREATH. are you daft?!?!? you can literally hear him choking on the water!
Their 12 year old, strangely obsessive fans will go to the ends of the earth to defend O&K and they will parrot back whatever they've heard in the vlog or have seen a fellow bug buddy respond with. Oscar tells Levi he's okay, that he's a big boy who's learned to hold his breath under water so the kids watching will repeat that over and over to anyone that dares to point out how dangerous it was. There's comments saying its not like it was 3ft deep water. Do they not realise that kids can drown in even the shallowest of water? Levi tumbled and whacked his head off the side of the bath before slipping under water. It all happened too fast. How do they think in those few seconds a baby will think "Oh, my manchild father there with the camera taught me to hold my breath once by blowing on my face before dunking me. I'll do that right now before going under the water again." Dimwits.
Of course accidents happen, but you're supposed to learn from them and do everything you can to try and stop them from happening again. How many times has Levi slipped in the bath? It's definitely not a first, they should have a bath mat in there and either sit on the floor or get a stool so they can sit beside him and interact with him when he is in there. Not just hover around trying to get vlog footage.
Guys, you need to read what babies can naturally do
Babies can definitely be under water for a few seconds and not drown because they naturally know how to hold their breath (Oscar was just next to him, it was not possible for Levi to drown). If you keep doing it with your baby (which Oscar does) he/she will not lose this capacity. They can even learn to come back up and place themselves on their back if you go with them to the swimming pool a few times. A person told them to use floaties, but NO, it's so against free motricity! Or yes, sure, put them floaties... so they lose thoses capacities, get scared of water, need to pinch their nose at the age of 6, can't open their eyes under water, etc.
I quote "The bradycardic response; also exhibited by seals and other aquatic animals, the instinct may be a vestige of our ancient marine origins. It works like this: Infants up to 6 months old whose heads are submerged in water will naturally hold their breath. At the same time, their heart rates slow, helping them to conserve oxygen, and blood circulates primarily between their most vital organs, the heart and brain. The survival response keeps accidentally submerged babies alive much longer than adults would survive underwater".
From what I have read:
Moms don't need monitors. That's such a dumb thing created for people to spend their money. It's even worse when it works with wifi or other bad waves, it makes me cringe. Our grandparents did not have any and it's totally fine. Parents have ears, moms have a natural instinct, plus they live in a little apartment...
Your teeth don't get bad because of Formula. If you think yes, what about the babies who get breastfed until 2 or 3 years old? So yes... there is a little less sugar, but breastfed babies also ask for milk during the night for a long time (generally still wake up around 2 yo), and I'm telling you that you won't brush their teeth 3 times in the middle of the night. A baby with Formula normally doesn't need to have a bottle in the middle of the night because Formula is heavier in a baby's stomach. Plus, some people have sensitive teeth and even if they brush them they will get cavities. Some people don't brush their teeth and have nothing. There is a part of genetics here! He is only one, but if his teeth haven't got brown now, chances are that they probably won't (it can still happen though). Anyways, they started to stop Formula, which is good! The only thing that they should do is to use a toothpaste without fluoride. They should take something adapted to their kid because he can't spit yet. But I have realized that a loooot of people actually don't know that!
Overall I see improvement! Levi is smiling a lot, he has a lot of toys, they do a lot with him, they show that they change him, they brush his teeth, a lot of good things in the last videos! I feel like Levi is a baby who cries easily though. He barely hit his mouth with the GoPro and cried for a few minutes. I do think they are absolutely not bad accidents, Oscar just makes a big deal out of nothing. He is not going to suffer from that.
spot on thou I agree completely
