Radiographer, here. Yes, that’s called a Pigg-o-Stat (I know, weird name). You do this because it restricts limb movement and allows you to take images more cleanly. The last thing you want to do to babies is irradiate them too much, because radiation harshly affects cells that are dividing more rapidly (such as the type in growing children). The alternative is putting a lead apron on a parent and having them restrain the child, which could result in motion and thus a bed to retake the x-ray. It looks weird, but it’s quite effective.

Hopefully yall don't use this as a reason to fear monger.
Its always the most primitive of minds that try to demonize medicine.
Yes, there is often discomfort, there is a price to pay. It doesn't work like in fairytales where you sprinkle fairy dust and everything is healed.
So don't look at this as cruelty. If there was a better way to do it, it will be done.
