There comes that awkward stage in a baby’s development when they are interested in exploring the world but they still are not able to sit upright without some sort of support. I loved the Bumbo Seat during this stage because it allowed me to free up both of my hands and play with my sons, plus it kept them happy by allowing them to be in an upright position.

The Bumbo Seat is a very cool invention which allows you to have your baby in an ergonomically upright supported sitting position once the baby has good head control, freeing up both of your hands for play or feeding. There are no straps on the Bumbo Seat, but rather the shape of the seat allows for the weight of the baby to anchor the seat down on the ground without the risk of tipping. One of the best things about the Bumbo Seat is that is is lightweight and portable. I have taken my Bumbo Seat to grandparent’s homes, restaurants, and on vacation. It is even used in pediatric physical and occupational therapy centers, as well as school based therapy programs to aid with increasing trunk strength and control.

The Bumbo Seat is made from a soft foam and is easy to clean. It is available in 5 colors, and you can also get a play tray which attaches to the seat. The play tray is great for playtime with toys or when starting out with finger foods. For more information about the Bumbo Seat, visit the website HERE.

This is truly one item I could not be without - everywhere I go, it goes too. I use it several times a day for feeding my 7 month old. I also used it throughout my older sons first year for feeding, tummy time, and supported sitting.

The Boppy Pillow is initially great for feeding your baby, whether you breastfeed or bottle feed. It puts the baby in a comfortable and safe position on your lap or around your waist. Later, I have used the Boppy Pillow for supported tummy time, as well as supported sitting. (My husband even used it as a pillow for himself in the hospital while I was in labor!) The Boppy Pillow has a washable cover which can be bought in various gender specific or gender neutral patterns, styles, or colors.
