Viral "2025 Babies" Video Sparks Debate on Newborn Traits and Generational Labels

A recent viral video by TikTok user @thebakerhousehold has sparked a lively debate among parents, humorously highlighting the perceived unique challenges of raising "2025 babies." The video, uploaded on August 5, 2025, features a new mother alongside her infant, with on-screen text detailing the baby's demanding habits, such as requiring feeding every 30 minutes, taking an hour to burp, hating being naked, constant hiccups, and an early desire to hold its head up at just two weeks old. The video quickly garnered over 963,100 views, 27,800 likes, and nearly 700 comments, indicating a broad resonance with the parenting community. Many commenters shared similar experiences, with one user stating, "I thought i was the only one, my baby was born July and she does the same😂." Another added, "This was my boy at 4 days old he was a little superman 😂😂😩." However, the video also ignited a discussion about the generational labeling of infants. Several users pointed out that the described behaviors are typical of newborns across all years. "that's just every baby, not '2025' babies," commented one viewer, a sentiment echoed by many others like, "Sounds like every newborn😂" and "You all realise that every baby no matter what year they where born are no different because every baby is different because it feeds more or lifts it’s head has nothing to do with the year it was born." One user defended the original poster, noting, "All the non 2025 mommas raging in the comments 🤣 it’s a trend and not that serious, hope that helps!" The video, while light-hearted, effectively captures the universal, often exhausting, yet endearing aspects of early parenthood, prompting both commiseration and gentle correction from its diverse audience.
