RE: Bearing weight/OT question

August 5, 2004

Not sure if this has been mentioned, but another great baby holding device

is the ny Jump Up. Zoe LOVED hers. She would bounce in it while I was

making dinner. Boy, was I sad when she started walking and couldn't go in it

anymore. She would've if I would've let her. She loved to swing in her swing

well past 2 years old. Finally I had to put it away one night. My neighbor

borrowed it for her baby, and when we went to visit, Zoe kept trying to

climb into the swing.

Just a thought for babies who love to stand up and jump and for babies who

need to get off the back of their heads. Our second doctor said it was great

exercise for the baby, especially for the clubfoot leg muscles...

Best, Joanne

Subject: Bearing weight

I was just playing with and letting him jump on the floor when

he stopped and just stood there, legs straight and bearing weight on his

feet! He just turned 4-months on July 25th. His feet were flat on the

floor, although his one foot tips toward the inside a bit at times, but

that's from the muscle imbalance and should hopefully fix itself when he

starts walking. I was just soooo happy to see him bear weight on his feet

and to see that they were flat on the floor! I wasn't expecting that to

happen for a while yet. Just wanted to share!
