Congratulations, you have a newborn! Feeling overwhelmed? Don\u2019t worry. It\u2019s normal and you are not alone. You hear so many worrisome stories. I\u2019d hear things like, \u201cDon\u2019t let them sleep on their belly or they\u2019ll die.\u201d \u201cYou should buy organic clothes. Non-organic irritates their skin.\u201d \u201cYou\u2019ve got to handle them just right or you\u2019ll cause damage that can\u2019t be undone.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It can be difficult shutting out the noise. So many questions. Just when you think you\u2019ve got it figured out another one pops up: When to stop using an exersaucer?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Exersaucers are a great thing for your baby. It has a rewarding impact on your baby\u2019s health and development. It promotes organ growth, builds core leg-muscle strength and encourages reaching and stretching in your child\u2019s spine and neck. It also improves your child\u2019s tactile responses. They\u2019re also great at keeping your baby occupied while you tend to other chores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Typically, exersaucers have an age-range between 4 and 11 months, a weight-limit of 30 pounds and a maximum-height of 30 inches. So, how do you know when to stop using an exersaucer?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A good rule of thumb to stop use is if your baby starts crawling out of it. The more mobile your baby gets the less they\u2019ll want to stay in it. When they are crawling, standing or pulling themselves up with more frequency, that\u2019s a great indicator that it is time to wean them off of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This can happen anywhere from seven months to 24 months. It all depends on how fast your baby develops. I\u2019ve found there\u2019s no right or wrong answer on this one since some babies develop faster than others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Know that they\u2019re going to want the freedom of mobility the more they are able to walk or crawl around. Usually when they\u2019re at this stage they won\u2019t last longer than 15 minutes in one until they get bored and want out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It can vary, but the average age tends to be around eight months. However, do not worry if your child is still using theirs after this age. Let your baby remain in it as long as is necessary. You can also judge by your child\u2019s height and weight. If they are getting too big for it then it\u2019s time to say goodbye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The most obvious way is to trust your baby. Your baby will let you know when it\u2019s time to stop using an exersaucer. Your child is unique and there is no one-size-fits-all approach. I\u2019ve heard stories of friends with late walkers using theirs up to 21 months!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
