Bumbo

As babies get older and stronger they begin to do more (obviously) and they want to do it. When found that our daughter could sit up on her own without falling over we got her a Bumbo chair.

These chairs are made of soft moulded foam that support the child as they sit up. It is not designed for use for long periods in the beginning as your baby will soon get bored and want to move. However they are great to keep baby upright as they learn to keep their balance.

We used ours daily and every time she used it she would smile. She was able to sit up as it was boring lying on her back all day staring at the ceiling.

We also found the chair was actually good for her posture as her back was supported and kept straight rather than having a hunched look about her.

We don' think our daughter would have been able to sit up on her own as quickly as she did without it.
