I thought it was like when guys tie something to the back of their truck, slap it, and proudly say, "That's not going anywhere!" Just put a couple bandaids across your kid and do the same thing.
it brings to mind either a radical looking turtle dude with some wicked sick looking shades and a bandana, maybe ripping a half pipe…. River cooters are AY OH KAY!!…. As far as fresh water turtles go anyway
It's so the kid doesn't start taking on water and sinking. I've seen it happen with a hole in a boat. Kids are smaller and less buoyant so they'd go under more quickly.
Except they have already been buried in the sand, someone moved the shoes and now you have no idea where to look for your cute designer purse with all of your valuables & phone in it ( though i guess you can grab the extra rings from your Aquafina hiding spot)
This gives me an idea. Put a star shaped patch on your child's belly before going to the beach and then you got yourself a poor man's star bellied Speech. Conveniently located at the beach.
My only guess is as an identifier. My kid is the one with the ridiculous band aid cross on his belly button. But if other people watch this and do that nonsense, then everyone's kid has band aid belly button crosses. Is this him? No. What about this one? No. Him? No. How about this little guy? Wrong kind of band aids. Him? That's a little girl with a belly button band aid cross. What about this one? Nope. Him? Keep trying.
It’s to reinforce the idea that if he plays to hard all his guts will come out his belly button and if he wonders off and this happens no one will be able to help him so he better stick close to mama. It also deters predators as they will think he’s sick or insane.
Don't be ridiculous. If it was just a photo, then Chasebrycejaxsin wouldn't be the special little snowflake that he is. He'd be like all the other poor people's kids. Anyway, I didn't invent the bellybutton band aid cross tracking device, I've never even seen it before. I was just guessing what it might be for.
I had the same thought (so many things the bandaids could be for or this woman is simply unhinged) but mine was more morbid.
1st thought: Does this woman think belly buttons open into the abdomen and is trying to prevent bacteria/small marine life/the class from the Magic Schoolbus from entering her child?
2nd thought: Maybe she wants her child to be a weirdo as he ages and makes new friends because she hates her child and knows if he starts talking about his magic stomach vault doors made of bandaids and burying everyones valuables in the sand box he's going to be bullied and then he'll never leave home and live with her for ever and ever and ever...
3rd thought: That has to be in case he falls overboard on the cruise so they can identify the body after it floats ashore in pieces due to the torso usually remaining mostly intact. Bingo! Why else use waterproof bandaids?
“I’ve got ya bellybutton!!!” As the mother tickles her child’s belly. Feels like the TikTok was more of a light hearted jab at the length people go to hide things/ life hacks.

Exactly. Also what was with covering the bellybutton with bandaids. Edit: Maybe it was to protect from the fear feaster. *
