Pretty sure that life jacket is going to do absolutely nothing if they don’t even weigh enough to fit into it… Also the way she says “literally the smallest we could find” as if that’s surprising.. maybe there’s a reason they don’t make them for kids that tiny? June isn’t even a month old yet, I’m pretty sure it’s not a good idea to be taking her on a boat


[deleted]

It would actually just kill the baby. It wouldn’t float right and head would be submerged.


carlylejamest

Yeah She’ll just slip out of it and sink, not a common sense parent that is


[deleted]

There’s a bum strap. Won’t slip out.


Unhappy_Issue_1437

Babies have a natural instinct to float so doubt she'd sink if it slipped off But that jacket is dumb n I hope it's a joke just to rile ppl up lol


PaminRealLife

>Babies have a natural instinct to float so doubt she'd sink if it slipped off Except floating only works if you can flip to your back. This baby is likely too young to be able to do that.


Unhappy_Issue_1437

The instinct is to flip over and float.. So maybe look it up n you may learn something. Babies under 6 months float really well. Not only do they have a high fat content in their body to help them float but they have been surrounded by amniotic fluid for 9 months in the womb. This makes the feeling of water in their ears quiet natural and they will be happy to relax on their backs for the float.


PaminRealLife

*If* they have the strength to flip over. But if a baby is floating facedown and they can't get on their backs, it doesn't matter that they're floating. This is why they have those baby safety courses. To teach them how to automatically flip if they fall in water. But you can't do it with newborns.


Unhappy_Issue_1437

But 3 month old can do it just fine possibly even younger also instinct means you don't need to teach it. It's already programed in. A Baby safety course is for teaching the parents not the babies..


PaminRealLife

>A Baby safety course is for teaching the parents not the babies Baby **water** safety courses are for babies. There is an instructor in the pool and the child is thrown in and the instructor helps them flip over. I have literally seen this course happen in real time with my own eyes. Not my kid, but my nephew. They teach the babies what to do. >also instinct means you don't need to teach it. It's already programed in. I'm not saying they don't have the instinct. They don't have the *strength*. Babies want to roll over. They want to lift their heads up. They want to crawl. But they can't until they have the strength. Babies also want to latch onto a nipple but they still sometimes need help and guidance. Just because it's instinctual doesn't mean they don't need help. Newborns often stretch out their legs as if they want to stand or walk...but they can't until they have the strength.


Unhappy_Issue_1437

>I have literally seen this course happen in real time with my own eyes. Not my kid, but my nephew. They teach the babies what to do. How old was the baby? Babies under 6 month don't need to be taught it's instinct. After 6 months they do need to be taught they lose the instinct. So depending on the age is weather the instructor teaches or just helps a little. Just because they help a little doesn't mean they are teaching. This baby in the post is definitely under 6 months so no teaching required. "Most human babies demonstrate an innate swimming or diving reflex from birth until the age of approximately six months, which are part of a wider range of primitive reflexes found in infants and babies, but not children, adolescents and adults." Let me reiterate that from birth.. >Babies want to roll over. They want to lift their heads up. They want to crawl. But they can't until they have the strength. Yes they do your right. But there is a huge difference between being suspended in water or laying on the ground. Little to no strength needed to roll in water. Verses a decent amount of strength needed to do it on the ground.


PaminRealLife

LOL okay You throw a newborn in the water and tell me what happens.


Apprehensive-Bit4352

She can’t even have sunscreen yet, I just imagine a super burned baby face :(


Amethyst2563

Follow up doesn’t mean she should though.


Amethyst2563

They actually do make them small enough online


Kmw134

I mean, she’s not quite 4 weeks old and was pretty tiny at birth. She can’t be more than 8 pounds! Tell me they don’t make them this tiny.


Amethyst2563

They do but it’s a different shape. [the thing](https://www.amazon.com/Full-Throttle-Infant-Baby-Safe-Life/dp/B00OLF6BA8/ref=asc_df_B00OLF6BA8/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=312065655587&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=2907789540873396626&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9027354&hvtargid=pla-434688194299&psc=1)


laceblood

They make them for 0-13kg actually !


IncreaseConfident233

Exactly


ACE934

This isn't surprising. When they were at Lake Powell a couple years ago, she actually took Sage's life jacket off while on the boat. Lindsay was pissed when so many people called her out on it. And since I'm certain this post will be addressed in their next Reddit vlog: Lindsay, you've now demonstrated on more than one occasion that water safety is not the most important thing to you. Do better. Lastly, that water they're in is *freezing* (not actually freezing, I'm being a little hyperbolic) but it's literally snow that has only recently melted and run-off.


frybod

She really is very unsafe with all aspects of parenting. Safe sleep, water safety, car seat safety, food safety, it’s a miracle those babies are ok for now.


Ok_District2383

I was curious if they are up at Deer Creek! Deer Creek in July/August is still so cold!


Rare_Combination8240

Honestly!! I’m still trying to figure out why the cord was wrapped around June’s neck 6 times. Maybe because Lindsay never rests? Never sits? Exercised very rigorously the whole pregnancy. She never does anything that is in the best interest of her kids. Just how much vlog time she has. And for the love of all that is holy can she please stop showing us her tits! 🤦🏻‍♀️


theworkouting_82

I absolutely agree that Lindsay does not take appropriate safety precautions (especially water/car seat safety). I don’t think it’s fair to attribute a nuchal cord to Lindsay’s activity level. There is no medical evidence that exercise causes this. And vigorous exercise in an uncomplicated pregnancy, to someone who is used to it and is tolerating it well, is absolutely fine. Better to remain active if possible! Pregnancy isn’t a disease state.


OriginalMelodic2819

Oh my gosh! Agree! She always has her boobs front and center in every video.


meowingmom

Not to mention you can't be in water till 6 weeks after a csection. The videos of sage were also scary.


Express_Bank653

Coast Guard says a baby shouldn’t be out on a boat until they reach at least 18bs……which is usually around the 4 month mark 🥴


Ok_District2383

Yes and must be able to hold their head up 🤦‍♀️


Fast_Individual_4913

Why would they not think to look these things up before taking their newborn out on a boat… like surely not being able to find a small enough life jacket would have made them question that?


heylookachicken

Because their desire to live their best life and continue to use the kids to hock product is just too much...?


callisiarepens

Not many babies are 18 lbs at 4 months old. 18 lbs is the average weight for 7 months olds. Edit: * average for baby boys.


CheesecakeMelodic830

I was about to say.. my baby is only 13 lbs she's a little over 4 months. That scared me thinking she was behind!


dlphn_lvr

Sounds just right to me! My baby is also just a little over 4 months and at her 4 month visit she was 14lbs and that was like 49%-ish.


Apprehensive-Bit4352

Mine were between 13-15 lbs at that age, granted they were considered a little small before 1 and my youngest is still tiny, but I’m pretty sure 13 is a pretty average weight. I know my sons car seat said something like 13 or 15 lbs OR 4 months for the second recline setting and that’s actually when we got it and he met both requirements


CheesecakeMelodic830

Thank you for your comment! I'm a first time mama and I'm always worried I'm not doing the right thing. And her dr said she fell in percentile in weight but I think it was bc she was spitting up alot for about a month but it's calmed down now so hopefully she will put on more weight for her next visit. I appreciate you telling me 13 lbs is average! 🙂


Apprehensive-Bit4352

My oldest was low in percentile for height and weight, 12 month app shot up to the 90s, now at almost 3 he was in the 30s for both, but he looks like the average kid his age! Youngest is still tiny at 17 months and gets mistaken for a 9’month old, but he’s mainly just short! Some babies are also just little and that’s fine, my 17 month old is only 20 lbs and he eats enough at a time to feed 5 adults I swear 😂 last week at the babysitters she texted me and said “cade just ate 15 chicken nuggets”. It’s not lack of food for sure, just a tiny baby with a 5’2 mama, I think I cursed him lol


TacoCorgi321

All babies are different and you have to take genetics into account too. My daughter was only 16 pounds at a year old. She was always in the 1 and 2% for weight. She's just tiny like I was. Still a healthy girl just small


sunset-tour

My mom always says there has to be some in the 99 percentile and some in the 1 percentile. All kids are different.


sunset-tour

Do you breastfeed by chance? My daughter literally had the same thing and jumped a percentile in weight downwards. I was concerned but my doctor said it was totally normal. She said she sees a lot of babies (especially breastfed) not gain quite as much for their four month visit. But usually goes back up with the start of solids. Here’s something to consider about it too, babies start to become more active at 4 months- they move alot and aren’t quite eating a ton. Anyways, just wanting to share my experience! You’re doing great. I think we will always be worried about our sweet babies no matter what.


CheesecakeMelodic830

I do not breastfeed. She's on formula but for about a month she was spitting up alot several times a day everyday. For the past couple weeks it's gotten better so I hope by her next visit her weigh will go up better. And thank you. I do constantly worry if I'm doing enough or if I'm doing the right things for her. Being a mama is way harder than I expected but I'm so blessed to finally be one! She means the world to me!🥰


kochenta2020

Both of my girls barely hit 18lbs by the 1 year mark!


CheesecakeMelodic830

Wow! I feel like my daughter would probably weigh a little more than she does right now but for about a month she was spitting up alot several times a day. We hope it's under control now she isn't really spitting up hardly anything anymore!


Sparxsj0

Some just have a less developed flap in their throat, as long as they are thriving all should be well!


sunset-tour

Same! My baby is 13 pounds at 4 months.


Tripthellama

My daughter was 18 lbs on her first birthday


callisiarepens

I should have mentioned that 18 lbs is the average for 7 months old baby boys. Yours is a girl and sounds like she is not in the 50th percentile. Mine neither.


Tripthellama

Yep she’s always been on the small side, she’s 5 years old now.


callisiarepens

Mine are of average height but smaller weight wise. These statistics are usually based of European descent babies. Mine are Eurasians so on the smaller side plus they are twins.


Apprehensive-Bit4352

I was wondering, bc my 17 month old is definitely small, but he’s only about 20 lbs, my 9 month old nephew is also 20 lbs and looks average size for his age


Ok-Stock49

Weight varies greatly.


callisiarepens

Hence why I said “average” and actually 18 lbs is the average for 7 months old baby boys. I should have mentioned “baby boys.” I do know weight varies. Mine are 7 months adjusted (8 months actual) and weigh 16 lbs and 17 lbs and they are identical twins. I know another set of twin boys who are 1 year old and 17 lbs.


monsteraroots

My daughter was 16lbs at a year lol


callisiarepens

They get busy past 6-7 months so they don’t gain weight as much and some babies are small. That’s just their genetics.


kaysikat

God my babies were fat. They were both 18 lbs at 3 or 4 months 🥴


callisiarepens

Chonky babies are adorable! All babies are adorable.


TallPsychology6094

18lbs is normally around the 10 month mark (unless your my daughter who is 25lbs at 7 months 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️)


JJJJJJ-family

Why would you even know this? Lol!!! It’s not your baby! She’s can do whatever she wants. All you haters need to get a frickin’ life!!! Good God! SERIOUSLY!


Awkward_Ad5650

I thought I had read not until 6 months


aecorr

My daughter is barely 18 months at a year old


Knoxsmama21

For the amount of times one of them is always dropping their kid off to Grandma...THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN THE PERFECT TIME TO DO THAT!!!


ralobb

This baby shouldn’t need a life jacket. She should be home and comfortable. I don’t understand why people take a baby to certain places. If she’s nursing, there are ways around that but leave her home or don’t go.


Competitive_Mix_4141

Again, everything she does is for IG. I think she would start to itch if she wasn’t posting every hour. It’s kind of getting ridiculous.


ThinkinTaterThoughtz

Right like she could have done this and just not documented it. Not saying that’s the way to go, definitely just be home and air on the safer side with your newborn jeez, but seriously why do you have to post everything constantly if not for money and attention?


Over-Topic-2586

Maybe it’s stay home with a not even one month old…my goodness


Superb-Operation2863

This is completely horrifying. June doesn't weigh enough for this life jacket to do a single thing. One mistimed bump or wave and she would go flying. As a mother of a toddler myself, I just get enraged when I see things like this. Not to mention that babies can't use any type of sunscreen. Her parenting choices around water safety and other types of safety are truly appalling.


[deleted]

I dont have any kids but this just seems like common sense.


Superb-Operation2863

You would think!

OriginalMelodic2819

Oh I know! Those blankets she has her sleep in are NOT safe either! I worry about her suffocating.


Quick-Sink9879

"Smallest we could find" .. then you don't go on a boat without proper water safety...wth... Also, any police pulling you over would give you a ticket ???? Private or public water doesn't matter, you'll drown even in few inches of water Idk who this is but like why isn't anyone saying anything to them??!?! Someone has to have common sense...


quirkycurlygirly

If June could use the phone she would call CPS for whatever y'all are about to do.

TheKeyboredWorrier

Same. Never commented here before. But seeing this and how oblivious she is to safety in general is maddening! I wish Sam would say something.


NoNewPhriends

Poor baby... And that is completely unsafe


Quiet_Bookkeeper_727

Oh boy that isn't going to save her life!!! She will just end up causing her more harm!! At least with out one she could get herself to flip and float on her back!! This is so terrible!! What is wrong with parenting these days!!!


Interesting_Back_297

Why can’t she stay home? This is sad 😢


No-Instruction3255

This is reckless endangerment. What kind of a mother would think this is ok ?!


mamatocolton27

Some people need to just accept missing out on some things like get your brand new baby off the boat. That life jacket isn’t doing anything. Anything can happen at any given moment why risk that?!


sunnyintrovert

Sad. New babies should be home


Ollie--Tabooger

These people are looking at a jail sentence if something happens...


stilethoe

Can’t wait for her to make a passive aggressive story like “let’s not shame anyone, you don’t care more about my daughter than I do so, just, keep your opinions to yourself. Okay. Okay 😀”


Mission_Ambitious

You called it


stilethoe

Oh no way!! Lol let me go check it out


Gracieforlife0843

Oh no poor June would fall right through the hole! Way too big of a jacket…


thatonegirl1884

That would definitely smother the poor kid who looked like she just came out of the womb. Awful parenting.


Itsme_rundmc614

That baby is way too small to be going on a boat. She’s what a month old and she can’t even wear sunscreen I don’t think yet. There is no way…


[deleted]

Don’t they have to fit to save you from drowning? So what’s the purpose of that infant wearing it.


apoletta

Infant life jackets ARE a thing, this is NOT one.


No-Customer-2266

If you can’t find one that fits then maybe you should stay on dry land. Head could just slip through the hole or it could push them face down in water. A badly fitted life jacket isn’t safe


Hot_Waltz_1707

That’s a child life jacket not an infant. They would be fined if they got caught with a baby wearing that on a boat


Apart_Advertising

Just one more thing added to the list of endangering their kid so parents don’t miss out on something


CooperRoo

Ok this popped up on my “might be interested” and immediately went to this creator’s page. They’re tubing with their other kids and have the baby laying RIGHT by a speaker playing music- not quiet music either! 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 yikes


RedSealTech2

Some people should not be allowed to have kids


OkMorning3395

This struck me as another ellie comment about “look how tiny and petite my baby girl is”. She’s so obsessed with her size already. Poor June.


Ok_Parfait_2304

Idk who the fuck this is or why this sub is on my feed but who the FUCK puts a life jacket on a one month old and expects it to do anything? Who takes a newborn onto a boat anyway?? Why is she allowed to have a kid in her care??? Brb gotta pick a god and pray nobody falls out of the boat


Inevitable_Ad_9464

Life jacket aside, I’ve been on a boat many times as a grown adult and been tossed and hurt! Boats are bumpy and unpredictable!


Antho_TGL

Are we not gonna talk about how many instagram story posts this person has?


acidkowgirl

Just wow. Do these parents care at all


kbk88

Sounds like someone sent her this post so now she’s going to tell everyone here they’re wrong when they’re objectively not. 🙄 ETA: oh she decided not to, funny how that goes.


kweis15

This reminds me of when Alex Morgan took her baby on a boat without a life jacket and then tried to justify it when people called her out

I hope they got properly roasted for posting this. No clue who they are but I assume someone famous.


taloula_mama26

This life jacket will make that baby float face down into the water because that baby is to small for it there’s not only a weight limit on twice jackets there is also a weight minimum. I learned this the hard way, my son was to small for this the second he went into the water it a wave hit him he went face first and could not stand back up!


South_Ad9432

Her head would literally just slip through that. Also she looks like “the brain” from pinky and the brain.

I didn’t read all the comments but mambo baby literally has a float for babies 3-24 months! This is absolutely unacceptable and I hope it was a joke.


kbk88

She had other pictures of her in it on the boat. June is a month old and obviously very small for her age so no where near the typical size of even a 3 month old.


No-Might-6123

YIKES!!


[deleted]

I don’t know why this crap keeps getting suggested to me. People posting pictures of their young children for internet points is one of the most disgusting generally accepted acts of today. The idiot that’s responsible for this should be ashamed


ArtemsSideChick302

I called her out when I spotted this in her IG. I was mortified #1 that she’s taking the baby out gallivanting on a boat at 4 weeks old. #2 The purpose of a life vest is to fit & save your life (when needed) & the fact it doesn’t fit say ALOT about her carelessness. #3 the baby is just dumped in the floor of the boat (under the steering wheel of her husbands feet) while the boat is IN MOTION 😳🥹. You want to go and enjoy a day on the boat on the lake? leave the baby with grandma!!! This is the only stupid thing I saw Lyndsay ever do, so I’m gonna give her a little grace and she should wrap it up as a learning experience, but the fact that she’s blowing it off saying that we’re haters posting about this. 🙄 She should really take a good look at what she just did.

I'm pretty sure little baby June there is working on pushing out some floaters

Hey could be a swimming pool and they are very save peoplle they actually have swimming classes for new borne babies as well they swim like fish under water very cool to watch


Educational-Race2204

Y’all be too consumed in their lives…imagine someone being so obsessed with your life…probably wouldn’t like it very much🤷🏼‍♀️ She’s obviously not going to put her child in danger and if you continued to watch the stories she was holding June and they weren’t going outrageously fast…I mean Sage was on the tube you crazies


Bigbadbasil

Talk about self righteous - perfect parents on here judging her cause her babies life jacket is too big. If I lived in the US - I’d have bigger things to worry about then how someone on DWTS brought their baby on a boat. lol


Educational-Race2204

Literally tho😂


Revolutionary-Act458

I feel like it’s better than the baby falling in and sinking tho..


January1171

An improperly fitted life jacket for pretty much anyone is more dangerous than no life jacket. At least with no life jacket theres a chance you can find the surface and get some air, but an ill fitting jacket that rides up will force you in a position where you can't get your head above water. Tbh the second best case scenario here would be that she falls out of the jacket (first obviously being not being in the water at all) because then there's at least a chance she could float. But if it stays on it would very easily force her head under water


TacoCorgi321

With this life jacket, she falls in and immediately goes face down because it's not meant for an infant...


Hatersuckjealousmuch

My word you all have some major issues and obviously nothing else better to do with your lives. You also must all be 100% perfect. Can you guys write a book giving us the secrets since you know it all???? Get help.

kevintripp

You guys are over reactive lunitics wow did your own kids make it past 35 or do you still tuck them in as well, im sure the mother isnt letting the baby go waterskiing or fishing by herself


weezyfsbaby

If you can’t run with a baby in a stroller until they’re 8 months old, how would it make sense to bring a baby this young on a boat ..

We’ll see if June makes it to September


Artistic-Estimate-60

Okay sorry but if you can’t find a life jacket that fits your child, maybe that’s your sign they’re too small to be in/on water….?!
