Bumbo

Has anyone started using a bumbo? When will you? I've been considering it because Stella is able to hold her head up by herself now. It's funny because it seems like she really enjoys it too and is proud of herself haha.

    We've used it for a while, but DS has always had pretty good head control.. Sometimes we back the bumbo up to the couch and roll a small towel to help him if his head gets tired.

    She has good head control when we are holding her but tried the boppy today and it sat her in a weird position where she couldn't hold it up

    We have been using it for ~3 weeks.  Only 5 minutes or so at a time, but she loves it.

    We usually start using it around 3 months old, but of course it depends on each baby's head control. We love the bumbo!!!

    We started using ours (BebePod) a little before 2 months.

    We've been using ours for a few weeks. LO is very strong and we felt he was ready. It's great for teaching him to use neck control. We just added the tray this week and put small, lightweight toys on it so he learns to reach for them and grip them.

    I want a Bumbo! I've been trying to talk DH into getting one. I think she needs an early Christmas present :)

    Ours is still buried in the attic somewhere, where it will likely stay until it's time to sell it at a consignment sale. I'm not a fan.

    We got DS a Bebepod flex and we try it out a little each day...like 5 minutes.  I plan on waiting until 3 months to really use it.

    DS2 as been using the bumbo for a few minutes at a time for the past 2 weeks.  He still needs some assistance (I hold his hands to pull him forward slightly... otherwise, he leans back too far still).  It is great practice for neck control, plus for some reason he just LOVES it.  It gives him the biggest smiles and coos - adorable!

    We love the Bumbo! He can only handle it for about 5min but he seems to like it and he has great head control.

    This, waste of $ for us, DS fit in it for maybe two weeks. I had a chunky boy :)

    Yep, for about 2 weeks now. It seems kinda boring to me, but DS gets a kick out of it for some reason.
