What type of activity gear is my daughter ready for?

Question

My daughter is 4 and 1/2 months old and I recently set up her exersaucer. She seems excited by it at first when I put her in it but it only keeps her entertained for about 10 minutes. I was wondering if I should get her one of the jumpers and wanted to know when other people started using the jumper. Also, what other types of activity gear is good for an almost 5 month old infant. Thanks :)

Answer 1

try sitting and playing with the toys on the exercauser with her she will enjoy it more and eventually will play in it longer without you there.

Answer 2

The activity center is good.  I have a jumperoo for my daughter, and she loves it...I started her in it at about 4 1/2 mos.  One thing to remember is that children have short attention spans, so changing things up often is important.  I have also put her on the floor with toys around her to practice reaching and rolling.  Another good place is sitting in the highchair with some toys for a little while.  No matter where you put them, don't ignore...interact, as we are the best teachers/toys of all...

Answer 3

One of my sons loved the Johnny Jumper and the other screamed when I put him in it.  Try placing toys around the exersaucer to keep her more entertained.
