The Baby Borrowers

The Baby Borrowers is a British reality television series produced by Love Productions for BBC Three.

They start off attempting to look after a baby for three days, before moving onto toddlers, pre-teens, teenagers and finally an elderly person.

Before being broadcast, the program received bad publicity as it was seen to be immoral to allow inexperienced teenagers to look after real babies.

However, the BBC assured viewers that the parents of the babies had given consent, and that a nanny was on hand at all times to intervene if need be.

One older baby was refused a clean nappy because he had been potty-trained before the show started.
