It's hard to imagine a video of a baby not doing much of anything — no funny faces or cute babbling — could garner nearly 10 million views on Facebook, but that's precisely what happened with this 30-second clip of a newborn resting on a bizarre baby chair. The device, known as Babocush, aims to help busy parents by providing a way to keep their newborn feeling "held" even when they're not. Although it looks more like a miniature massage chair, this one is designed to hug the baby securely in the traditional over-the-shoulder-against-the-chest position — ideal placement for reducing colic and reflux — and thanks to a dial for soothing vibrations and calming heartbeat sounds, it's almost like the real thing. Most parents might be skeptical of such a unique baby bouncer: they've long been advised to keep babies on their backs to prevent SIDS. The chair's creator, Kerry Nevins, does advise that it not replace a cot or crib, but she stands by the Babocush's rigorously tested harness and even attests to its ability to mitigate flat-head syndrome, an issue that's been on the rise since the popular "back to sleep" campaign, by encouraging ample tummy time.

"When your baby just won't settle in the rocker, bouncer or play mat, the Babocush offers an alternative option," Ireland-based Nevins says on her site. cheap children's armchairs uk"Tummy down, face to the side, relaxing against the soft cover, you can relax and know that your baby will be comforted and settled, giving you peace and time to relax."gaming chair for wowIt costs nearly $200 (though it's on sale now for roughly $125), and because the company is based in Ireland, it'll cost you a pretty penny in shipping, too. balance ball chair standNot only that, it doesn't include a rocker, and although it can be placed directly on nonslip floors, it's best when attached to a proper baby seat.black leather chair restorer

It would be for day time naps. I won't have a pram carry cot and don't have the space to leave a pushchair unfolded in the lounge or kitchen. Once they are too big for a Moses basket then they will be too big for a bouncy chair too. That might be the point that you start putting them in their cot for daytime naps. Do you have space for a travel cot? Gosh, I'm really surprised at that. I thought babies grew out of moses baskets around 4 months, and didn't have enough head control to go into a bouncy chair until then. I presumed that they would fit into a bouncy chair until at least 8 months? P's no we don't have space for a travel cot. I used bouncy chair way beyond the time ds would have fit in a moses, if we'd used one. I'd say I didn't put the bouncy chair away until about 7-8 months. We used a bouncy chair from birth. Once they start to get more mobile and can crawl/pull themself up then they aren't safe any longer And I put it away because he wanted to sit up, not because he wouldn't fit.

I think they're supposed to come out of bouncy chairs once they can sit up as it becomes dangerous, so about six months. Same for Moses baskets. Size wise mine would have been in his for at least eight months. I'd say that's time to start napping in the cot, but actually mine only ever napped in the (moving) buggy so I don't know! Have never heard about waiting until four months for bouncy chairs, everyone I know put their newborn in them, is yours very upright? My dd is 6 months and can still easily fit into her bouncer. I've had to set it as stationery though as she leans forward too much. I've used it since birth b u t she has napped precisely 2 times in the bouncer! Most of her naps are in the pushchair when out our in her crib (which she has now outgrown). Bouncer was one of my best buys. No idea how I'm going to shower or cook once my dd begins to crawl.... Thanks for all your replies.I didn't know bouncers were suitable from birth. I presumed the 4 months rule for sleeping in a baby bouncer was similar to sleeping in a car seat for long periods because the windpipe could be compromised by the position.

I don't have any evidence just what I thought I'd heard/read about. This is my second child but my experience first time round was very complicated as my son was born with complex health problems and disabled so didn't have good head control, core stability and was non mobile, late with his physical development. For example he didn't sit independently until he was 16 months old. I'm still learning what neuro typical baby development and parenting is going to be like. I used a bouncy chair for some naps but only quite short ones. I used it from birth to around 6 months when they learn to sit up. I also had a sheepskin laid flat on the floor (you can get nice ones for babies) or laid them under the baby gym. Sometimes I left therm outside in the pram (in back garden, not street!) Or some prams have a removable carry cot or cocoon which you can bring in? Once they were getting nearer to 6 months I put them upstairs with a monitor on. Are you confusing bouncers (where baby is quite upright hanging in doorway etc) with bouncy chairs (reclined comfy chair)?

You wouldn't put a baby in a door bouncer for a nap though which is what the OP wanted to use it for www.argos.co.uk/m/static/Product/partNumber/2948548.htm - says from birth to 9kg I would just get a nice sheepskin rug. Look at 'gabe and grace' they do nice oval ones you can put on the floor to nap, or sofa next to you. But also have slits in for pram straps so you can use in the pram in winter for warmth and summer to keep cool Bouncers aren't supposed to be used once baby can sit as they could tip them over. So usually 6 months is latest really. Hence very little use for many So could you use a moses basket downstairs for 6 months?how long do they last? I'm keen to follow the sids recommendations ie baby sleeps in same room as you until 6 months. Sorry for all the questions like I said this is all new for me in the sense that my previous experience is all skewed. Depends on the size of the basket and your baby as they might be too big for it by then Fruitp and artandco, sheep skin rug is also a good idea.

I do have one that I was going to use in the lie flat bit of the pushchair to make it more sung. I like the idea of being able to put it on the floor too but I would also like something a bit more secure as I have an older child who plays on the floor so I'd be worried about leaving a baby exposed. There are bigger, more stable chairs that you might be able to use. DS certainly napped in his. Will find a link. Could you fit a mothercare Hyde crib in living room? At the side of sofa maybe? They are bigger than Moses basket and should last over 6+ months if you want something older child can't reach as easy Agg, I can't find what I'm after. Tbh though, DS mostly slept on the floor at the age. Sheepskin is a great idea What about a 'sleepyhead'? It's a breathable insert for baby to sleep on. You can use on your bed, in cot or on floor. It's very potable so easy to move around the home with you.Why don't you put the baby in the cot? You can get "birth to toddler" chairs - which are also better value than ordinary bouncers as they last longer - which could be a way to go.
