[mylittlebud1]

Hi,

Going through the exact same thing at the moment. I had Evie on 22nd Dec 2010 weighing 2lb 8 i was 27 wk pregnant.

She is now 13lb 6 and 8 months old (5 corrected). I find she needs constant stimulation and she gets bored quickly. I've found baby t.v channel a god send! she will lay there with her toys and jus stares at the telly and i can actually get stuff done round the house lol. I know it sounds like i just plonk her infront of the telly but baby t.v is designed to stimulate their brains and has big shapes colours etc so its good for her development. I too hope that when she can sit up unaided it will be easier but who knows.

Msg me anytime x

For the Jumperoo I think head contol is the important factor - as short legs and small bodies can be padded out with blankets, but they need to have pretty good head control to cope with the wobbling etc of the Jumperoo.

Ours isn't actually a Jumperoo, but similar as we got it 2nd hand for £12 , and looking back at the photos we started putting one of the twins in it when he was about 5 months old, so 2.5 corrected, as he could hold is head up before he left SCBU. The other twin did not go in until he was just over 3 months corrected.

mylittlebud - where abouts in kent are you? We are down Canterbury way and were in Ashford SCBU at the end of Jan, so may have overlapped with you????

maybe that might work and you should be able to see the album!

what age corrected do people think a jumperoo would work well? Need head control and legs need to touch floor tho could pad out with blankets like albatross did

confused - wow your boy is rollin thats great!!! ours were born 14th march! so similar!

hey toothfairy - awww 1 on fri sooo cute! would love to see a piccie! I'm finding it hard going atm keeping them entertained and happy!

Sophie's birthday is 14th March too but she was born in 2010

She got a jumperoo for Christmas last year and loved it - she was a bit small so we had to put a cushion under it for her feet. xx
