A "How to Fight a Baby" video has been posted by a father on YouTube, showcasing how to handle babies when they are cranky or throwing a tantrum. This has now gone viral and instigated a debate as it shocked some and delighted others.

The video was apparently instructing the parents how to tackle their young children. The viral video "How to Fight a Baby" was posted by Scottish-Canadian Comedian and Actor Gavin McInnes. McInnes is also co-founder of Vice, an international magazine.

McInnes started his "instructional" video by saying, "A lot of you out there are scared of babies. They are easy-pease to handle, I'm gonna show you how."

As it can be watched in the video, he then began to wrestle with the baby in an alarming manner. He strangled, slammed, threw and flapped down the baby in the video while instructing parents how to tackle their child. The video showed baby-fighting moves which included strangling, throwing, slamming, tickling and blowing wind on their face, a move that he called baby's Achilles heel wind.

"So yeah, dealing with babies is nothing to be afraid of, just keep your nails trim and you're good," Gavin McInnes said in the end of the video.

The video has instigated mixed reactions. Though some people term it as "cute" and "funny" some see it as rough and hurtful to the baby.

According to Today, viewers on YouTube called him "coolest dad ever" and some have expressed their concern about the baby's safety.

One comment on YouTube read: "WHAT are you DOING, lifting the small thing like that and slamming it down by its neck and wee arm?"

While one another read: "The baby is being flipped on what looks like the most comfortable bed and blanket ever, also if you notice whenever he does toss the baby he hold the babies head, I doubt that baby is being hurt, I have two children and trust me when they are hurt the will let yah know, I think this video is cute and that baby looks like he's having fun, soooo cute."

"I mean, I would hate if child services took my children away, but outside of that, I'm not concerned if it makes people mad or not," told Gavin McInnes to Today.com
