Is It Safe To Lift An Infant High Up Into The Air Repeatedly?
I am caring for an 8 month old baby whose mother and grandfather repeatedly throw the child onto the bed or a pillow on the floor and throw him up into the air. I am very concerned and would like to know the dangers so I can present them to the mother (who is an RN by the way.)

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, anything could happen to baby if it is being tossed or thrown in the air and injury could be fracture, soft tissue injury may be serious head injury, and it is should be stopped at earliest, hope this information helps, take care.
