[@nyarash]

It is indeed very bad I used walker with my elder son and he doesn’t have good balance and he walks only putting weight on him front part of the feet. We were not aware so with my second child who is 5 months old we are not using it.

[@karolinapangracova5357]

Interesting. In my country we are so much stricter. I would never put my baby in the jumper, walker or activity center. And especially would never use a baby seat. Not even a 10 minutes a day. All the physiotherapist in my country I’ve talked to are very strictly against practicing sitting. And I agree with that based on the research. It is interesting to see how it’s different in every country.

[@Tatiana2809]

Same here

[@natalianogajewska4619]

The same in Poland. The jumper, walker, etc. were used here in the past and were the cause of many malformations (at least according to the research I've read, and what's interesting - most of the research was done in USA :-) ). Sitting, as well as crawling or walking, should result from the natural developmental process, not placing the child in "helpers" that never simulate real conditions. My favorite phrase when it comes to parenting: be supportive, but most of all don't disturb! :-)

So true. And what about the baby carriers? Ergobaby and Babybjorn is so popular in America as far as I know. But it is overly expensive garbage that hurt babies. Elastic or woven wrap is much better for the first months. Baby carriers are also really good but it is necessary to follow basic rules (M position, C curved back, fabric from one knee to another, soft back and no firm neck collar).

For the nails, get an electric nail file! They have different heads for the age of baby, and don’t hurt at all. I got one for my baby, and have been using it since birth. My babe is 3 weeks now, and I use it twice a day since her nails grow so quickly. It is fast and easy to use, and I’ve not had any big issues with her scratching herself, and never put her in mittens.

The only things I used for my daughter was educational toys from Monti Kids, which is a montessori program from age 0 to 2 years old. The Montessori Method addresses your child’s cognitive, physical, linguistic, social, and emotional development. I did not use walkers, seating trainings or any other products. She started to wear shoes only when she was walking fully on her own. For her physical body, I let everything happened naturally.

100% agree. We did the same for our daughter and I feel she was free to concentrate on what she was ready to do from day to day instead of being pushed by us stressed out parents. She was standing up by month 9 and walking at month eleven, right on track. The added bonus is not buying a ton of useless baby equipment which is often at least partly made of plastic.

I was in the same situation. My son used it at my mother's house for a little while. He was fine without it and his legs are really strong since he did a lot of holding on to objects and walking.

[@amberf8487]

My family is 100% against walkers because of their experience with me, not even because of the development issue. I fell down a flight of stairs because I was in my walker and somehow knew how to open then gate to the steps (dad pulled SuperDad and literally flew down the stairs somehow past me and caught me before I landed). My bfs mom wanted to get our 6m one and I told him and her this and now she’s against it. I got lucky, but some other babies have gotten majorly injured. My dad had a bruise on the back of his shoulder for 6 years later and had to get surgery to remove it. I told this to a friend of mine with hers and she laughed and didn’t believe me till her daughter almost did the exact same thing. Walkers are never okay in my family.

[@tinagrzeczkowski695]

Ok honest question here. My son is 3mo and I just started him facing outward in my Ergobaby Omni 360 carrier. It has straps to adjust to better support the angle of the legs, to better support the hips. My baby does not tolerate being carried facing inward, and does not tolerate being put down at all. He has been loving facing outward in the Ergobaby carrier and until I watched this video, I felt it was a God-send. Ergobaby says to face them out only when they have good head and neck control, which my baby does, and I trusted that this company cared about the ergonomic support for babies and their development. What am I missing, what am I getting wrong?

[@annielle2]

About the upseat... the best is no seat before they are ready..in my country (Czech Republic) these seats like bumbo or upseat are not common and discouraged the same way as walkers or jumpers.. the best way is to wait until the baby learns to sit on his own and not to sit him up before he and his spine is ready...

LOL everybody in the comments freaking out when there’s no reason to. My son is 7 months he’s sitting up by himself now and I hardly ever used his little chair thingy.

Hey I’m a new Dad and apparently doing everything wrong. My son is 4 months old and we have had him in the ergo baby carrier, facing forward for the past month. He passionately hates facing inward. Even when just being carried. He wants to see the world. There are very few places and positions that he is truly happy in and this is his absolute favorite. It’s really been a huge help to use this for walks and the one thing we can rely on when he’s fussy. My question is: Exactly how bad is this for his hip development? Is it worth sacrificing everyone’s sanity and the one thing he enjoys? Is there a safe way to carry him front facing at this age or exercises we can do with him to make up for walks facing forward?

The physiotherapists back at home actually recommend not to sit your baby until they learn it on their own completely. They spine isn’t ready, they sit all curled down, can’t breathe properly and their hips suffer too.

Hi Bridget! From what age to what age do you use the upseat? I'm assuming it could be used as an eating chair, when would you switch to a high chair and which would you recommend?

I just purchased the upseat ! I hope it helps my little girl.

I have a question about vaccination. Some people say that it's important but some people say we can avoid it. What do you think about this?

Hello, I did some research online before buying my baby her sit up chair for Christmas. I got the summer situp chair with 3 different heights to sit the baby. Have you heard of these and if so what's your opinion on them

[@simimathew1706]

Absolutely right.. I agree to it completely..

Hi Bridget - I'm preparing for BLW for my baby and I live in Europe, with no possibility to but the upseat but yes the new bumbo multiseat - has it improved in any manner?

I have to use mittens sometimes so my baby can't pull his NG tube out, it seemed to be hindering some of his development, now ONLY put mittens on him when we're in the car or at night so he can't pull his tube out, but leave his hands out when I'm with him so we can play

The part which talks abt baby shoes. What is your take on baby socks? We usually put on baby socks and not shoes.
