I have baby pillow that my mother bought when katie was born, so maybe i'll try it tonight and see what happens. thanks again Fri, 9 May 2008 21:11:02 -0400 http://www.raisingthem.com/posts/view/48125/ I would definitely recommend a bouncy seat.

So, I guess based on your comments, it is worth to pay the extra money to have all those extra features on the bouncy seat. ... Fri, 9 May 2008 16:36:44 -0400 http://www.raisingthem.com/posts/view/48125/ My son loved and still loves his bouncy seat...we got the bobblin band bouncer, it vibrates and plays music. ...

If you have a Babies r us around you they have lots of different brands and they are all reputible. ... Fri, 9 May 2008 15:33:42 -0400 http://www.raisingthem.com/posts/view/48125/ I have to say mine came in handy, I would put my daughter in her bouncy on the bathroom floor while I would shower. Also she would sit in it to eat before she was big enough for a highchair. I got mine at babies r us it was a pink girly one. ... Fri, 9 May 2008 15:10:30 -0400 http://www.raisingthem.com/posts/view/48125/ Does anyone have any advice on Bouncy Seats? Is it worth to buy them? Which brands would you recommend?

However, with my son, he slept on a pillow in my bed for about a week when he was sick, and once I put him back in his crib, he would not sleep without a ...

If your little one doesn't seem to need it, why not wait? I'm sure it wouldn't be a problem, but I'm always on the overly cautious side of things. Fri, 9 May 2008 10:20:57 -0400 http://www.raisingthem.com/posts/view/48008/ I also started my daughter on one at about a year old. Fri, 9 May 2008 09:32:00 -0400 http://www.raisingthem.com/posts/view/47362/ I agree meetup.com is great. You can also try themommiesnetwork.com and see if there is a local group in your area...this site is awesome if you have one in your area. They have playdates arranged by when your child starts Kindergarten. Fri, 9 May 2008 08:21:28 -0400
