at what age

can I use the bumbo seat? DD is 9.5 weeks. She has very good head control. Is it too early for her?

    I know we used it with DS sometime between 2-3 months.  I forget how many weeks exactly....

    We started using it a few minutes each day around 3 months or so.  He would mostly slump to one side but its good practice for sitting for just a few minutes.  It wasn't until nearly 5 months that I could put him in it for any length of time.

    Personally I think 9 weeks is too early.  I think we did it more like 3 1/2 months.

    I started trying with Robbie around 10w adjusted or so.. but he HATES the thing. He LOVES to sit up but HATES the thing..

    Kids. What can you do?

    We started around 2.5-3 months.  I think having head control is the key.  You can always try it and see how she does!

    Yeah Ethan isn't crazy about it either, he slumps over, but we try it for about 5 min a day.

    I started at around 3 months.  She had great head control at that time but it was still hard for her to balance and her head would start to wobble.
