My baby is 5 months and she loves it, bounces away happily

You do whatever feels right for your baby! You know him best x

We use from 5 months

As long as they have good head control it should be fine

I got one at Christmas for her to use as she got older and it's now that she's sturdy enough to hold herself up in it and reach out for toys on it

He holds his head up and I can carry him on my hip and he holds himself up, thank you all so so much x

Most of the guidance on these toys are 6+ months because of babies’ hips and spines. But, my 4 month olds has a walker. She just uses it for 10-15 mins at a time and then we take her out.

You can buy 4 month + ones. I bought one for my little girl recently and she loves it

My baby is actually not yet four months and we already have one as a present. We set it up the other day thinking his feet wouldn’t touch the floor yet, but they did and he really enjoyed it. No bouncing but at least upright and super interested in all the things on top. I sat by him the entire time and he was holding his head and body up well. After about 10 minutes he was getting tired and starting to slouch so we pulled him out. So I say go for it. No harm in trying and you know your baby best. Worst case is you have to wait a few more weeks.

My son is nearly 5 months and we have him on it but not for longer than 15mins. Our osteopath said it was ok for short period of time

Also try putting a box under their feet if their feet don't touch the ground

My baby is 5 months and he absolutely loves his c

Help! First time mum -

I have a 4 month old and now all of a sudden when he’s been asleep for 1hr30/2hrs he will wake up screaming (high pitched) I’ve tried winding him sometimes that helps, I’ve tried bicycle legs & bringing his knees up but that doesn’t seem to help but he brings his knees up himself sometimes but nothing happens. I’ve noticed since the 4 month mark he has started to struggle passing wind downwards! Any tips?

Hour night wakes and 5am get up

Can anyone shed some light as to why on earth my child doesn’t want to sleep??? My eyeballs are bleeding!!

Never been a good sleeper, but the problems always changing. He’s nearly 9 months old.

Beginning of the month he dropped to 2 naps. We could put him to bed at 7pm and he’d get up for the day at 6am, with multiple wake ups every 2/3 hours.

Now we put him down at 7pm, he can do a good 4/5 hour stretch, but come 1/2am he’s up every hour then getting up for the day at 5am. This then completely messes up the day because I can’t keep him awake long enough to even get to 7pm, let alone later.

He has 2 naps, roughly about 1hr10 each but it changed based on when he wakes and trying to get him to a reasonable bed time.

What could be the reason for this? 6am is fine, but 5am is not 😩😩

Bath Time

Help! My baby is 3 and a half weeks old. Every bath she goes in quite happy but will only stay like this for a very few mins, if I try to clean her or move her we have tears and after a few mins the same. It's like she is scared. Our current baby bath is quite big should I try a different one? Looking for any suggestions as want her to enjoy bath time not be upset and I'm scared I'm going to make her hate it😢💗

Don’t want to leave my first born😭😭😭

Anyone else extremely sad and anxious to leave their first born😭

He’s 2 and we have never not put him to bed or be here for when he wakes up😭

I’m so sad and anxious about leaving him

Crying during feeding

Hey mams! My girl is 6 weeks on Monday and is having so much trouble with feeding. It doesn’t happen every feed but more often than not she will start a bottle and just start crying as if she’s in pain and she can’t take the milk. I think it’s trapped wind but I genuinely don’t know what to do it’s so pitiful to see her not be able to feed! She’s formula fed and on HiPP Organic.
Anyone else been in this position? I’m pretty sure it’s just a bit of trapped wind that she needs to fart out but can’t! If anyone has any advice I’d be very grateful as I think I may need to tape my eyelids open soon 😂

Sleeping

Hi all!
I need some advice my son is 5 months on Tuesday at what age do they sleep in their cot? As he’s still in his bassinet in our bedroom any advice would be fab thank you🫶🏼🫶🏼
