All parents need a safe spot to put their babies down. But is there such a thing as too much time in a bouncer seat or activity centre?
Before trying out new equipment with your infant, check the manufacturer’s recommendations for developmental readiness; your little one might need to have the core strength or be able to hold up her own head before she’s ready for a high chair or Jolly Jumper, for example.
So, the physiotherapist, says her “device-advice” for parents is all about moderation and practicality. Car seats and strollers, for example, are a must for transportation, but be sure to position your baby’s head and neck so they line up with their spine.swings where the infant lays in a reclined position
. A good alternative to those devices, says So, is a playpen or simply putting baby on the floor, if possible, which allows a baby to move around but still keeps them safe. “I encourage parents to use a blanket, or get some foam pieces if you have hardwood floors, to create a safe place on the floor,” says So.
Some floor chairs, like Sit-Me-Up or Bumbo-type seats, can put the baby in a position “where their pelvis is tipped back, which isn’t optimal for their posture,” says So. If your baby looks slouched, you could try using a small towel or pillow to improve their alignment. But babies should have good head and upper trunk control for floor seats, according to So, and, ideally, already be sitting up independently.
With equipment that places your little one in a standing position and encourages bouncing, like my best friend the, So says parents shouldn’t think of them as must-haves. “Babies don’t need to practise jumping.” Something with a more stable surface, like an Exersaucer or activity centre with less bounce, would be her preference.
