TL;DR Summary

A TikTok user known as @brain.guru has warned parents against throwing their babies into the air during playtime, as it can cause serious brain injuries. She explained that the baby's neck muscles are not strong enough to sustain the jolting motion, and there is a possibility that the baby could hit a ceiling fan or another object located on the ceiling. Even if the baby is caught by their parent, they could still develop a brain injury solely because of the movement and lack of strength in their developing muscles.
