14. What was it like to see babies dangling from apartment windows back in history ? In the 1930s, baby cages were considered a stroke of genius for getting infants their daily dose of fresh air and sunshine. These metal contraptions were literally hung outside the windows, turning cityscapes into surreal, baby-filled art installations.
With indoor comforts still a luxury, these cages offered a practical, if not slightly eerie, way for parents to provide their little ones with some outdoor exposure. Can you imagine the view from your window being punctuated by these dangling cribs? It’s a quirky reminder of how previous generations tackled the challenges of parenting with a blend of creativity and, let’s face it, a bit of audacity. What do you think future generations will say about our parenting methods?
