So when Your baby grew out of the rock and play and swing, what did you start using? I’ve read some bad things about a jumper (can cause hip problems) and I was wondering what you guys use to occupy them instead and to be sure they’re safe if you have to step away for a few minutes.

Wow, how long is your baby? Mine is 3 1/2 months and 25 and 3 quarters inches long. She still fits in all of her swings, rock n plays, etc. I do put her on a tummy time mat and on her tummy a lot and she loves that...also lay her on her back under one of the arching mats (forget what they are called), but she loves all of those and they keep her occupied for a while. This char is her favorite though!!

@italmama111, oh no! I should have said she’s not grown out of it yet. Lol. I just want to prepare and see if I need to buy anything now before it gets there. Our high chair isn’t for infants, but I’m hoping by our next appointment the doctor will say she has enough head control that she can start sitting in it up right.
She hates being on her stomach, and I would usually be fine laying her on the ground but we have a cat. He doesn’t really care for her, but I don’t want to take the chance. So I usually like her up away from him.

I've used this since she could support herself. Or I put her in her play pen with a couple toys

@princessrose oh got it! Makes sense. Just a heads up (bc I didn't know this either)according to my baby's pediatrician, they say at 3 months she should be doing an hour of tummy time a day! I definitely wasn't doing an hour...so the more tummy time, the faster they will be able to support their own head

@italmama111, yes! I try to put her on her tummy and we do a lot of chest to chest tummy time, but I hate seeing her get frustrated and I don’t want her to hate it even more, so I’m constantly rolling her back and forth lol. She’s been trying to roll over though and I feel like her head stays up pretty well.

@danielzamor2007, hehe yes! And we got offered a jumper for free and they say if you’re going to use one, at least limit the time you use it. I might ask our pediatrician next appointment and see what she thinks.

I would always put my daughter in the sit me up seat. She loved it.
