When did you put LO in Exersaucer?

MeganElizabethC · August 2010

My DS loves to be in a standing position. In fact, when he is in a playful mood he sometimes fusses when I change him from a standing to sitting position. He aslo supports himslef on his legs quite well. Just wondering when you all put LO in their exersaucer. I know the box says 4 months+, but I am wondering is DS is ready to try it our for short periods of time?

We tried a little before, but he wasn't long enough till four months (and he's a long baby)

We tried it right around 4 months and she wasn't long enough either (even at the lowest setting) but she loved it so we just put a phone book underneath for her to rest her feet on... She really likes it but only for the first 5 minutes or so, then she's done.

We just started (DS will be 4 mo next Tue). He can touch, but we need to put blankets around his torso so he doesn't flop around from side to side too much. I only leave him in there for very short periods of time (maybe 5 min) since the position of the legs (straight down) is not the best for babies. He really enjoys his time in there, he is always all smiles, and it is great for me to do things nearby (like dishes or dinner, etc.).

I would start whenever you want to and if baby seems uncomfortable try again the next week.

We started at 3.5 months. DS could just barely reach the floor. He still only stays in for a very short amount of time (always less than 15 minutes) but its a lifesaver when I want to take a quick shower!
