In the 1930s London, parents would hang infant-sized wire cages from their apartment windows to give babies fresh air and sunlight. These cages were often distributed by local health organizations and were seen as a way to help babies, especially those living in crowded city environments, benefit from outdoor air and sunlight.
It's always been a dream of mine to have a house with one of these.
For myself, not the baby.
Wow, good lord
Fresh air for who?
It’s fascinating to learn about these kinds of odd things that were socially normalized less than 100 years ago.
That's how they were radicalized 😂
😬
I joke with my kids about keeping them in baby cages when they were babies, but it was the crib. I had no clue this was a thing lol
It rains way too much in London for this to work.
whys this babys face look like a grownup tho?
Tbh doesn't seem like the worst idea 😅
I mean, there was no TV back in the day
