Bouncy seat?

Question

I think our bouncy chair is great. Our little 6 month old daughter loves it. In fact, she loves it so much that sometimes while her daddy and I hold her, she jumps.

My fiance on the other hand, thinks that she is in it too much. She goes in it once a day for maybe like 5 minutes at a time. He complained by saying that she "jumps" when it's time to go to bed".

Who is in the right here?

Answer 1

she a baby take away her bouncy seat she will just starting jumping in her crib  dont worry about it she just must like to jump

Answer 2

My daughter loved hers too. I moved my daughter around in 15-20 minutes intervals throughout the day. So she may have gone into the chair twice maybe 3x a day. But she went in it at least once a day.

Some babies just like to jump...my daughter loved her seat, but didn't seem too enthusiastic about jumping otherwise.

Answer 3

Let that baby bounce mama. If she likes it there's no harm in it.

Answer 4

Babies just jump MY little Girl is 7 months and she jumps all the time she will lay on her belly and start kicking her legs.  Just make sure she is getting plenty of floor time so she will learn new stuff.  enjoy your little girl.  they grow up fast..

Answer 5

my son did the same thing . he loved to bounce even on our laps !!!! i say you and daddy are right . all she is doing is strengthening her legs up for when she goes to walking . as long as she likes it , let her do it.

Answer 6

I don't think there is anything wrong with using the bouncy chair-as long as she is happy in it. At this age, babies are becoming so active, it is good exercise for them, and long as it is a balance between other things. we don't have a bouncy chair, and my six month old is always jumping and throwing her arms around. It is a new found skill. Hey ,if it works, do it!!

Answer 7

YOU! Kids will jump regardless...trust me! We didn't have a bouncy seat...and both my kids did lots of jumping ....

Answer 8

A 6 month old does not know that they are jumping too much. I think your fiance is being a little silly. Kids jump! They cry, they scream, they jump! Even a baby. My daughter spent LOTS of time in her jumperoo and now at 19 months hardly ever jumps. Let the baby have fun and tell your fiance all babies jump, let him look at these answers if he dont believe it!

Good luck!

Answer 9

Forget about who's right... that's what tears relationships apart. But aside from that, kids love to jump. When I was that age, I used to bounce when my parents made meals in the kitchen (we had it in the kitchen doorway). Which could be over 1 hour. 5 mins a day I consider to be short. I mean how much time do you spend on the computer a day... probably more than 5mins....

Till than... Have Fun

P.S. The bouncing thing can build up muscles that they'll need in the future.
