Kelly's baby is a cutie, and Kelly looks like she's over the moon with happiness. Her daughter is also hitting milestones-- she's seen here having her mind blown by discovering that she has hands:

By contrast, here's Mother Bus's baby getting whacked by a sibling and not appearing to react. Hand also still in the contorted position:

I I just don't understand why any woman would go you know what how about I don't have my baby in the safety and care of medical professionals. it truly is mind melting to even attempt to understand.

NPD is a helluva mental illness.

You'd be surprised what people do when they literally lack the capacity to actually love their kids.

I’m sure there are many reasons why this could happen, but my gut feeling about why comfortable white women in the US do shit like this is because they’ve never seen someone die/be maimed by a birth injury so the possibility seems remote. They feel invincible (until their baby gets cerebral palsy from being born in a bus bathroom).

Totally off topic but I love when babies discover their hands and feet, they look so amazed and it's so funny.

So do I! It's so funny when they get their minds blown by their own hands and feet.

On the topic of Mother Bus: someone on Reddit has done a master post about the Bus Baby's birth. Link here (archive). The post provides a timeline and links to relevant uploads on the subreddit. It also has links to an older tour of the bus they live on, an AMA related to the family, and other older lore. If you want an intro to this family, this is a good one.

Right now, he'll sort of react to touch, particularly on his face. His fists are still clenched, and he doesn't seem to react to sights or sounds. His mother also seems to have figured out the ways to get a semi-reaction out of him for the camera, so it's debatable how meaningful his reactions are.

Fear of loss of control. It’s the most vulnerable time of most women’s lives. Women in labour are defenceless, are not always treated with respect, and may have procedures and examinations done without consent. Some of these procedures may be controversial or damaging.

PTSD is common after childbirth. No matter the good intentions, the reality is that mothers have strangers looking at and prodding their genitals.

In the UK, hospitals have big maternity wards with only paper curtains between beds, and it’s common for other women’s husbands to stare at labouring or breastfeeding women.

These things don’t always happen, but the fear that they might leads women to try to find ways to avoid it. Eventually, they find a sense of solace and control in the belief that if they respect nature and follow traditional practices, everything will be fine. At the same time, they downplay the benefits of hospitals and exaggerate potential harms.

I do think improving maternity care would stop at least some home birthers from wanting to try.

At least they don't hold the baby in until the doctors comes anymore. I hope. That's the reason Rosemary Kennedy was born with the issues she had. She was held in too long, which led to her not getting enough oxygen. Why did anyone think that was a good idea in the first place?

Fear of complications without the doctor present, like if it got stuck or something and needed to be surgically removed. Nevermind that as recently as the Kennedy's, if the mom needed surgery, it was 50/50 on if the mother or baby died. A lot of fucked up practices happened for dumb reasons.
Example: women have an easier time giving birth on all fours, laying prone started because one of the kings had a birthing fetish and liked to walk through the wards to watch.
 
Does anyone remember Cynthia Jeub (Chris Jeub, 16 children, were on Kids by the Dozen on TLC). She's now a lolcow in her own un-Christian right, complete with social media begging, vague disabilities, refusing to get a job, declaring herself non-binary, keeping too many cats, and creating bad art.

Cynthia was her mother's third child, father's first, and was a staunch defender of the family lifestyle until she flew the coop at 19. She got some attention from fundy-watchers for dishing dirt about her father, who honestly already seemed insufferable, but way out-stayed her welcome with the grifting off of it.

Cynthia's father, Chris, wrote a book about their mutual drama. Archived copy only.

The moral I guess is "don't be a weird publicity-hunting megafamily, or your child will become a non-binary cat lady." Or something.
 
The Motherbus (Americanfamilyroadtrip) baby doesn't seem to be progressing or hitting milestones for a 2.5-3 month old such as: tracking movement, turning towards sound, or unclenching fists :(




I'm not a medfag by ANY means, but it is concerning to see the little guy not interacting to any stimulus other than newborn reflexes
