Anyone have, how old was your little one?

Question

My little man hates being on his back now, only 2 months 19 days old. Always trying to lift himself up, so was looking into a sit-me-up. Anyone have one for their little one? And how old were they when you put them in one?

Thanks! 💜👍☺

Answer

She's been in hers since just before 3 months! Great support and recommended over the Bumbo by my paediatrician because it's far better back support! She loves hers! She's four months today and it's been a lifesaver for us because it keeps her busy and helps strengthen her core with lots of support! If you do a search on Glow for sit me ups there are so many women who have them and love them! I actually got mine after reading about so many moms that loved them!

Answer

We used things like that at 4 months, I wouldn't earlier personally. We used a bouncer/rocker like this at that age, he liked it bc he could see what was going on in the room.

Answer

We had our LO in that around 3 months. She's always been very strong and had great neck control, so it wasn't an issue. We didn't leave her in there too long at first. She doesn't love it sometimes, but it's nice for us to have her somewhere secure and she likes when the cats come and visit her. She always hated our bouncer, so this was definitely and improvement.

Answer

I would wait until 4 months before putting baby in one, just so they have really stable head and neck control.

Answer

I have one and we love it.. my baby started in it at about 3 months and has really helped with head control and core strength.. she will sit there for an hour or so just talking

Answer

I have a couple of friends that love theirs! My LO will be 6 weeks on Tuesday and she gets pissed if she is laying down. She has great head control already.... she always wants to sit up or stand. 😳 
I'll personally probably ask out pediatrician about using one earlier, since we will be seeing them at the end of the month. ☺️

Answer

I have one and am waiting for head control. I've seen photos of smaller babies with their heads resting on the side of the ring, it isn't correct for safety.

Answer

My daughter had really good head control at about that same age. She just wanted to look around. We got her a sit me up and she loves it. It overs plenty of support, and is really sturdy. I didn't want a Bumbo because babies slouch in it, but in the sit me up she is supported. There are also spots to clip in toys. I would say go for it if baby has pretty good head control.

Answer

I would take advantage and do lots of tummy time! My daughter has never really been a lying down kinda baby though I got a jungle gym and she loved lying under that.
