In an entertaining and somewhat controversial video circulating on Imgur, new dad Ryan is seen dancing with his baby to the iconic track "Beat It" by Michael Jackson. This video, titled "This new Dad is killing it," has sparked a wave of reactions and comments from viewers, ranging from admiration to concern.

The video captures Ryan energetically performing a choreographed dance routine, complete with a moonwalk, while holding his baby in a front-facing carrier. The lyrics of "Beat It" set the perfect backdrop for this light-hearted yet spirited performance. However, the dance has prompted mixed reactions from the online community.

One user humorously remarked, "So unfair to do this to such a pale baby as it may give them the misconception that they have rhythm." Another added, "As a new dad, I aspire to this," highlighting how Ryan's enthusiasm is inspiring other new fathers.

Despite the fun and laughter, some viewers expressed genuine concern about the baby's well-being. Comments like, "Yeah don't do this, really bad for baby hips. The kid might just grow up with hip problems because of this," and "Frontward facing carriers are very bad for baby hips unless they are held in a specific position," underline the potential risks involved in such activities.

Amidst the blend of praise and worry, many found the video memorable and endearing. One comment stated, "He's absolutely practiced this routine, and I love it. That's going to be a great memory even beyond the video." Others couldn't help but notice the baby's calm demeanor, with several users noting, "The kid's just happy to be there."

The tiny bit of spit-up at the start of the fast part added a touch of realism and humor to the performance. One viewer humorously speculated on the mother's reaction, saying, "'....I was gone for five minutes, Ryan.' - mom, probably."

While the video has its share of critics, it's clear that Ryan's dance routine has resonated with many, sparking conversations about parenting, safety, and the joy of sharing moments with one's child. As one user summed it up, "He's teaching his own offspring M. Jackson material at that age," highlighting the blend of humor and nostalgia that makes this video a viral hit.

Ryan's video is a testament to the creative ways parents engage with their children, bringing smiles and sparking discussions across the internet. Whether you're a fan of Michael Jackson or simply enjoy touching dad moments, this video is sure to entertain and provoke thought.

Yeah don't do this, really bad for baby hips. The kid might just grow up with hip problems because of this. Forward facing carriers are bad enough already, their legs should be in a supported M shape.
