Re: Jolly Jumper - good or bad for CF

[Guest guest]

I recall asking Dr. Pirani about it and he said that it was fine.

All of my kids loved their jolly jumper!

I've heard negative comments about the jolly jumper for all

children. I've heard it can cause anything from toe walking to

scoliosis. As with anything - I'm sure moderation is key.

I never put Owen into the jolly jumper with his brace on because our

j.j. was the type where you slide the baby down into the two leg

holes so the brace wouldn't have worked. I have heard of others

modifying the exersaucer seat by removing the seam and replacing it

with velcro fasteners...that may work for the jolly jumper as well.

My son went in his jumper whilst he was out of the DBB. Our physio said all

things were ok in moderation and he was rarely in there for more than 10-15

mins at a time. I think problems occur when they are left in things for

hours!!!
