Alternatives to bouncer

My boy is now too heavy for his bouncer and it has literally been my best friend since he’s been born. I put him in it when shower, clean up etc and I know he’s safe. Now he’s too heavy, what alternative can I use to do the same thing with? It’s been so handy and I need something that can be just the same.

Jumperoo they are brilliant and help strengthen legs fir when ready for walking

Jumperoos are actually really bad for their hip development. I put my twins in a walker or their highchairs x

Fisher-Price Jumperoo as long as he can hold his head unassisted, the heights are adjustable too to grow along with baby

I would get a different bouncer, there are some that go up to 3 years of age.

Things like bumbo seats and jumperoos are not good for their development

are there any you can think of/recommend?

this one goes up to 3 years/18kg https://www.therange.co.uk/baby-nursery-and-toddler/baby-playtime/baby-bouncers-and-swings/baby-bouncer-electric-infant-swing-seat-rocker?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjw1emzBhB8EiwAHwZZxeQdAZGNcvBe7hpLqAsQWWBLcgdZ9SNu2jgh44aNseEvnQoRP44pXhoCWh4QAvD_BwE#7185044

What one do you have now? How heavy is your little one?

thank you!! I have the baby bjorn bliss bouncer which only goes to 9kg which is exactly what he is atm

Is this it? It says 13kg. I would be surprised if it's only 9kg as that's a low weight limit. I have had big toddlers in them no issues https://www.mamasandpapas.com/products/babybjorn-bouncer-bliss-light-beige-6776wt000?utm_term=42728740552869&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjw1emzBhB8EiwAHwZZxfpkdK5PoaRoLjD6EqEg9wkRX_60HIN7sTPp86-l5I0B7O4j12R6eBoCcVQQAvD_BwE

yeah that’s it. It said on the label, 9kg max for bouncer and then 13kg max for chair 🤷🏽‍♀️

oh I see. Is he trying to get out? If he is then turn it into a chair. If not then continue as you are.
Basically what they are saying is they don't want you to strap a baby in who is trying to get out and could hurt themselves

he’s not tbh, plus he can’t sit up unaided yet and would just flop out if I changed it. Thank you for your help

Sounds like you are fine to continue as you are then :) Your welcome!

Sleeping bag

8 week old in sleeping bag for first time as big enough! Do you feed your child in the night whilst in the sleeping bag or taken them out, feed then transfer back to sleeping bag before putting down?

Leaky nappy help

What nappies are you using to stop leaks?? We use pampers ultra dry size 5, and for the past few nights he has lashed through and we’ve had to completely change him during the night. Last night he leashed through twice!! He sleeps on his front and stays leaks through at the top of his leg where the tabs connect. Didn’t know whether to size up, he has a bit of a belly on him but he’s smack in middle of weight guidance so shouldn’t need too

My little one is struggling with sleep

Hey! I'm in need of some advice please girls! My little boy is 20 months turns 21 months in 2 half weeks. He use to sleep through the night now he is waking up every single night in the early morning, I've had to transition him to a toodler bed as he kept climbing out his cot. Just need some advice on what I can do to help him get back in to a sleep pattern?

6 month old autistism

My 6 month old makes no eye contact with me and doesn’t respond when I call him. Can this just be a phase or personality trait as apposed to autism

New born

Finally had my baby girl via C-section on the 18th, everything has been so far. But I’ve noticed she’s very fussy and cries a lot. I’ve been trying to exclusively breastfeed. The lactation consultant at the hospital said I did look like I’m making enough milk for her. She was latching on good at the hospital and now here at home, she doesn’t seem to want to latch at all. She’s been crying a lot and very fussy. I’m just wondering is she’s colic or like maybe she just doesn’t want the breast anymore?

5.30am wakeups 😫😴

My 15 week old has started waking up about 5.30am and is really hard to settle back down - it’s like he thinks it’s time to wake up for the day. He used to go to bed at 9pm and was up at 8am but now he goes to bed between 7.30-8pm as he’s knackered by then but waking up at 5.30am😴. Any advice to get him to sleep a little longer in the morning?! Even an extra hour would be lovely 🤣
