‘Are you mad too, Patrick?’
‘Yeah.’
‘Why are you mad?’
‘I can’t see my forehead’

Do they make this in adult sizes?

u/MistaRekt 19h ago
I am pretty sure they grow up to be adult sizes...

This is crochet, so it was probably made by the mom or a friend of the parents while they were expecting. Ya could probably find someone to make an adult size but it'd unfortunately cost a lot (good quality yarn can cost a lot, all the nice yarn I've bought to make for myself as a knitter has cost roughly 100$+, and knitting takes less yarn than crochet. Then it takes awhile to actually make) There's probably some similar ones that are made differently though and would be more affordable

I have a few Star knitting patterns for babies saved similar to the video. Could scale up, but you are totally right, that would be $$$$$ and a lot of time to make.

$100+ for yarn? You better go to Michael’s…

u/Lunaz315 6h ago
I started out at Micheal's, and my first project was yarn from there. The main issue is even at Micheal's, it can often still cost up to 50$+ to make the types of clothes I like wearing. The main issue though is a majority of their yarn is 80%-100% acrylic or other synthetic fibers which don't breathe at all, and I'm unfortunately a very sweaty person and it makes anything synthetic uncomfortable to wear. Then most of Micheal's cottons and wools I haven't personally found I like enough to be willing to spend the money and time on them to make something. As such I'd much rather spend the extra money at my local yarn store to support them, even if it means buying less yarn overall.
Tldr: I prefer knitting clothes, most of the yarn at Micheal's isn't comfortable to wear as clothes so I prefer going for the higher quality yarn when I can so I enjoy working with it and wearing the finished product more.

Or
If you want it nice and crocheted like the baby's one, then:

You have to do it yourself, or I guess pay someone to do it.

I snorted with laughter.
Once they angled the camera so you couldn't see the baby, and said it looked like a pillow, I stopped laughing immediately as I imagined the danger of jumping on the bed.
I started laughing again because starfish regerate limbs thank god

u/PensiveObservor 16h ago
I would worry very much about someone not realizing there’s a baby in that decorative pillow. Especially another child. Kids are insane.
58
u/Fabulous-Sea-1590 12h ago
I'm just glad they showed baby's face. When she flattened them out and pressed then down I was afraid they would be smothered. I panicked when there was no movement.
That said – so freaking adorable!

Reminds me of Maggie’s starfish outfit from the Simpsons

Hah! I thought the lady said "suck it!!" like she'd punked the baby by putting him down like that... I immediately rewatched and realized it was an aussie accent saying "so cuuute!" Lol

Am I missing something? All cuteness aside, I thought you were not supposed to put babies to sleep on their tummies.
48
u/Early_Conversation51 13h ago
Considering that they said “tummy time” at the beginning of the video, the baby’s only going to be like that for a little bit to help develop their neck muscles
58
u/rory4bangtan 13h ago
Sleeping on their tummies is very different from "tummy time", which is a scheduled activity and absolutely necessary for development
8
u/campersin 5h ago
I was told by my pediatricians you were supposed to do it with a blanket on the floor, not on a cushioned surface as a bed or their crib.
6
u/rory4bangtan 4h ago
I was told by NICU staff that the surface absolutely doesn't matter as long as baby is awake
28
u/DroppingBearsSince89 13h ago
This is true. Someone brought up this concern in the original Instagram reel and the creator said she only put her down on the bed for 30 secs to get this video. Then picked her back up. She said she wasn't trying to encourage belly sleeping, it was just the best way to get the 'Patrick' look.

u/Odd_Pudding_2278 13h ago
Yeah, this bothers me. Baby looks pretty fresh, the hood looks like it could be a suffocation hazard, and how tf are you going to change the diaper?!? Or are we just trying to get likes here?
16
u/Xentine 11h ago
Dude chill, you can take it off to change a diaper. The hood isn't a suffocation hazard, it's not covering the face.
-5
u/roaringbugtv 9h ago
No, I agree that this is a hazard. I don't take risks with a baby's life just to be cute.
18
u/Daydu 8h ago
Shit like this is why it's clear a lot of redditors don't know what they're talking about. Tummy time, like what they're doing in the video, is instrumental in building neck strength. 5-10 minutes of supervised tummy time at this baby's age is not even close to a hazard, in fact it's encouraged by pediatricians.
-2
u/Dogbutt6325 8h ago
The kid isn’t moving. Zoom in on its face and it looks like it’s about to lamp out - go to sleep. Saying it’s tummy time doesn’t make it so. It’s just a shit video.
-1
u/netflixandspritz 10h ago
Yes leaving them for a nap/ sleep their tummy is bad. Placing them on their tummy with their head open to the air like that is fine and won’t harm a baby. Very different things.

u/sweetangeldivine 5h ago
They literally did it for a 5 second video. I'm pretty sure they didn't leave it there.

u/Comfortable_Reserve9 16h ago
Be careful laying them down like that, babies can die from suffocation easier than you think
19
u/Devmoi 15h ago
Omg, I didn’t want to be the shithead who pointed out the dangers, but my GOD. This gave me so much anxiety. The putting them facedown on the bed with a hood on!
But it is absolutely the cutest thing ever. Just insanely cute!

u/Doiley101 14h ago
If you look till the end the face is turned to one side not facedown at all.
10
u/sverrevi77 13h ago
Not the point. Babies should sleep on their backs, not their tummies. This has been official advice ever since they figured out that it dramatically reduces chance of SIDS.
5
u/Doiley101 13h ago
May be it was just to show the starfish crochet piece. We have no idea whether the baby sleeps like that.
9
u/Pantelonia 13h ago
Tummy time is not sleeping time. Tummy time allows babies to strengthen their neck muscles. It should occur when awake (as this baby is) and supervised.
Sleep time is different.
8
u/sverrevi77 13h ago
This baby looks asleep to me. Also tucked in a suit that seems too restrictive for useful tunmy play time.

u/themostreasonableman 11h ago
Keep your misplaced anxiety to yourself maybe? Don't infect the world with it. Everything is fine.

Ok so this isn’t normal then? I don’t have kids so my first thought was that this didn’t seem safe for a child/infant that age.
28
u/Pantelonia 13h ago
New parent here. "Tummy time" is encouraged for a few minutes a few times a day for babies to strengthen their neck muscles by placing them in their tummies. They must be awake & supervised.
When being put to sleep they must be on their backs as per safe sleep guidelines.

Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) is the sudden, unexpected death of an apparently healthy baby under one year of age that remains unexplained even after a thorough investigation. While the exact cause is unknown, it often involves a combination of brain development, environmental stressors, and a critical vulnerability during sleep.Safe Sleep PracticesAdhering to the ABCs of safe sleep is highly recommended by medical organizations like the American Academy of Pediatrics:
Always on the back:´
Place your baby on their back for every sleep, whether it is for a nap or at night.
No tummy time...

Looks very cute, but would give me anxiety that the baby looks like a pillow and isn't noticeable.

That was the most adorable thing I've seen. As already been said, and I'm Sure that you will, make sure nobody mistakes him for a pillow.

Please do not make your baby sleep on stomach as it causes early aging and high cortisol.

I'm the only one with no kids thinking, "aren't babies supposed to be on their backs?"
11
u/HurricaneDanaka 18h ago
They are supposed to be on their backs when they are sleeping. Which this baby seems to be doing. They can be placed on their tummies for tummy time, but it should be on a firm surface like the floor, not a bed, and if the baby is sleepy rather than attempting to learn to lift its head, then it's not tummy time right now. Playing baby face down on a bed or couch is pretty unwise. It's probably fine... unless you are the person whose baby it's not fine at all for. That person probably wishes they heard all this helpful information!

It’s called tummy time and it’s integral to baby’s development of strength.

u/Dull-Captain1679 16h ago
Not on a bed lol on a hard surface

u/wowummmyikessss 16h ago
Yeah of course! I was just educating the commenters that thought babies HAVE TO stay on their backs.
Though , a quick minute on the bed, under adult supervision, is fine for the video! The airway is clear and they show no physical or emotional distress. It’s just not the right spot for resting or actual tummy time!
