Hi I'm a pediatric occupational therapist and everything in your video is 100% correct! Thank you for sharing this important information with your audience ❤
Are you though? Are the seats actually good for babies?? 🤔
@@talkofthemom what seats?
@@talkofthemom it just delays babies ability to sit up on their own since the seat is doing the balancing for them
I want suggestion for my cp desease baby
Hello doctor can i know that when baby sucking his thumb finger is it good or bad if i stop that because I’m always taking the finger out and my mother scolded me not to do that so i needs to know the truth about it
Please show us the pictures when you talking about all this
Correct
Correct, I was about to say that 👍
Yes
I was just going to say -- thanks for showing the pictures and images of the recommended gear you mention (!)
yea show us pictures what your talking about thankss
I followed some of your tips in your videos during pregnancy and delivery. Thank you so much it gave me much insight. I gave birth on April and this is the first time I watch your video after that. You look different, Bridget. Which is absolutely normal, as someone who has two little ones, hehe. I hope you're doing well and happy.
Totally believe what you are pointing out here. Babies cannot express their discomfort so everyone does whatever they want. Thank you for your awareness and sharing your knowledge.
Thank you SO much for this video! I already knew all these things myself but I am so happy you’re spreading the word! All these things are pretty well known back in my home country but I feel like they’re not spoken about enough in the west (UK, US etc). If I may, I will dare to disagree with point 2. The physiotherapists back at home actually recommend not to sit your baby until they learn it on their own completely. They spine isn’t ready, they sit all curled down, can’t breathe properly and their hips suffer too. Of course, the upseat is still better than all the other seats out there, I’m just sharing what I know. I believe we all do our best for our little ones
I’m a pediatric physical therapist and occasional birth doula. I only recently discovered your videos and find them so informative and helpful, and will recommend them going forward to all the pregnant and postpartum moms I encounter. The 5 things you suggest to avoid in this video are on point!!!
And I have been recommending the Upseat to parents for several years now. It’s excellent!
@ReneeGerber Are walkers actually bad for them? What is your stance on them? I’m just curious because I have a 6 month old and I am getting mixed reviews
It is indeed very bad I used walker with my elder son and he doesn’t have good balance and he walks only putting weight on him front part of the feet. We were not aware so with my second child who is 5 months old we are not using it.
I'm due tomorrow and I've been watching your videos almost my entire pregnancy. I'm so grateful for you and your videos because I can't afford a doula. You have helped me feel so confident and I'm really looking forward to my babies birth and my own birth as a mom! Thank you so much for your passion and willingness to share your knowledge.
She was with me the last month of my pregnancy and her breathing techniques helped me so much to have a very fast and unmedicated labour and to even enjoy the process. She does a wonderful job. I send you so much power and good energy for yours!
You got this mama! My due date was tomorrow too but I had her this morning ❤ you're so close!
@@roseinthedesert3911 awwww!!! Yay! Congrats!
@@dharmadharma3960 thank you 😁
I wish I had found her sooner. What I DID learn from her before my baby came was priceless. This woman is totally in her element. And her postpartum meditation is so healing.
This is a really informative video! It's important for parents to be aware of things that can potentially impact their baby's development and to do their best to avoid them. It's great to see that the speaker emphasizes the importance of providing a safe and nurturing environment for a baby, as this is crucial for their overall development. It's also important to remember that every baby is different, and what works for one may not work for another. Thank you for sharing these useful tips!
Soooo you are saying less stuff is more 😍 fits my budget
Mine too!
I found this very interesting and helpful! Can you recommend a good baby bed or do a video talking about the best options?
Great info. I definitely used a walker but like you said it was minimal useage. Mainly if I needed to have him out of my arms or just to give a few minutes of independent play time. I didn’t use it to help him learn to walk. But we still have it though because now that he’s fully walking on his own, he still loves to play with the toys on it so we still feel we got our money’s worth. 😁
Both you and your baby are so beautiful! I really appreciate all this good advice, thank you xx
Thank you so much Bridget for all the knowledge you put out !! I just birthed my 2nd baby on the 28th and it was a success. This was a Vbac and I labored @ home for 49 hours when I arrived at the hospital I was 9cm . Thank you ☺️
How long after c section did you get pregnant
I love how informed and passionate this video is. I love shes using her own experience and i LOVE She gently advises what isnt healthy...tells us why and then gives us a healthy choice
but just because it sounds logical doesn't mean she's absolutely right. baby development is also a little different every time
So glad I found your channel, I can listen to your voice all day! Thank you for such an informative and helpful video!!
Hey bridget!👋👋 i have learned soo much from your videos.. thank you for being there in my most difficult times guiding me.. love you..❤
I was worrying about scratching his face with his nails, and was about to buy mittens more. But I just needed to cut his nails often or filing. Thank you for the information.
I’m a new dad and watching this video brought tears to my eyes feels like I’m learning something new everyday thank you for the info
coz u r stupid !
Thank you! I have been leaving my baby to sit and bend at the same time and I am going to correct this immediately.
My daughter has SB and I can tell you from the point of view of someone who goes to physical therapy with her… you are right on point in this video!
You’re the first “baby coach” that has made any sense! Thank you! I’m a nanny, but I hope to be a mama some day, and I share your thoughts. This is well researched and presented 🥰
Ok honest question here. My son is 3mo and I just started him facing outward in my Ergobaby Omni 360 carrier. It has straps to adjust to better support the angle of the legs, to better support the hips. My baby does not tolerate being carried facing inward, and does not tolerate being put down at all. He has been loving facing outward in the Ergobaby carrier and until I watched this video, I felt it was a God-send. Ergobaby says to face them out only when they have good head and neck control, which my baby does, and I trusted that this company cared about the ergonomic support for babies and their development. What am I missing, what am I getting wrong?
Yes def! Also it should Be noted that..newborns and babies can also get over-stimulated by forward facing carriers. They have no way to hide their face when they are over stimulated ! Thanks for this helpful video!
Interesting. In my country we are so much stricter. I would never put my baby in the jumper, walker or activity center. And especially would never use a baby seat. Not even a 10 minutes a day. All the physiotherapist in my country I’ve talked to are very strictly against practicing sitting. And I agree with that based on the research. It is interesting to see how it’s different in every country.
Same here
The same in Poland. The jumper, walker, etc. were used here in the past and were the cause of many malformations (at least according to the research I've read, and what's interesting - most of the research was done in USA :-) ). Sitting, as well as crawling or walking, should result from the natural developmental process, not placing the child in "helpers" that never simulate real conditions. My favorite phrase when it comes to parenting: be supportive, but most of all don't disturb! :-)
@@natalianogajewska4619 so true
America is pretty backwards when it comes to babies I’ve noticed
So true. And what about the baby carriers? Ergobaby and Babybjorn is so popular in America as far as I know. But it is overly expensive garbage that hurt babies. Elastic or woven wrap is much better for the first months. Baby carriers are also really good but it is necessary to follow basic rules (M position, C curved back, fabric from one knee to another, soft back and no firm neck collar).
Last night I kept trying to find a good source about why we discourage walkers because some of my family members keep pushing me to get my baby one. Thank you for all this!!!!
I was in the same situation. My son used it at my mother's house for a little while. He was fine without it and his legs are really strong since he did a lot of holding on to objects and walking.
My family is 100% against walkers because of their experience with me, not even because of the development issue. I fell down a flight of stairs because I was in my walker and somehow knew how to open then gate to the steps (dad pulled SuperDad and literally flew down the stairs somehow past me and caught me before I landed). My bfs mom wanted to get our 6m one and I told him and her this and now she’s against it. I got lucky, but some other babies have gotten majorly injured. My dad had a bruise on the back of his shoulder for 6 years later and had to get surgery to remove it. I told this to a friend of mine with hers and she laughed and didn’t believe me till her daughter almost did the exact same thing. Walkers are never okay in my family.
we didn't use any walker or jumper for our daughter. She's able to sit on her own by 5 months and cruising around by holding on furniture by 10 months.
Canada is the first country in the world to ban the sale, importation and advertisement of baby walkers. And other countries are doing the same.. I didn't use for my 2 children and it's better without it.

Great and helpful video. Can you talk about swaddling please. Different types. What’s good and what isn’t. Thank you
Hi Bridget! I’ve watched a few of your videos but I need help!! . My son will be 7mo on the 9th . I’ve been cosleeping since he was born but it’s been rough lately. I want my space and sleep back.😣 I want to sleep train him in his crib in his nursery and not sure how to start. I breastfeed on demand. I know I’m supposed to put him down drowsy but not asleep but what if he cries??? I want a gentler way than the cry it out method. He’s also been taking super short naps during the day lately and going to sleep later than usual. He’s teething and also very close to crawling so i think those two play a part in that. Any advice, help or links will be super appreciated. I feel like I’m going crazy lately 😩🤣 love your videos ❤️
I’m a ftm and I feel horrible, I’ve been doing everything wrong it seems like. I am so glad I found this video. I have the bumbo and I put my baby girl in it once but didn’t even let her stay 15 seconds because it had her slouched over so much
Hi Bridget - I'm preparing for BLW for my baby and I live in Europe, with no possibility to but the upseat but yes the new bumbo multiseat - has it improved in any manner?
Thank you for the video! Do you know if the ingenuity 2-in-1 booster seat is ok?
Couldn't agree more! My first used a walker and wore shoes and took 14 months to walk. My 4th never used and never wore shoes and walked at 9mos.
What about forward facing with the ergo baby carrier that supports the legs and keeps them in a wide “m” shape? The instructions say you can start forward facing at 3 months, which my baby is (today actually!) so I was going to start so he could see out since he gets frustrated when he’s turned in. But of course I want the best for him!
Love your channel I’ve been watching since I was pregnant I was overdue and your video really helped doing some exercises to help start labour was incredible my baby is almost four months now thank you for the great content ❤️
Hi Bridget! From what age to what age do you use the upseat? I'm assuming it could be used as an eating chair, when would you switch to a high chair and which would you recommend?
Just came across your video. Am grateful for the information you shared. Just what I need to know.
I agree with everything mentioned but the waking piece. Each child is different. And this can be said about my 2nd son. He was a very fussy child until he took his first steps at 7 months and was choosing to walk at 8 months. He finally had control of his environment and was content. There was no stopping that child, he particularly skipped the crawling stage.
Nesting days makes an amazing shirt style baby wrap. I loved mine!
So I have been struggling to baby wear my 1 month old chunker since I see people on youtube do the foot together inside the fabric carier but then when I take her out her foot has red marks from being squished in the carrier. This is my second baby but I never wore my first this early. So it is nice to know I can take out the foot just as long as it is in an M shape. Thank you for this info! I’m so worried of her getting hip dysplasia
About the upseat... the best is no seat before they are ready..in my country (Czech Republic) these seats like bumbo or upseat are not common and discouraged the same way as walkers or jumpers.. the best way is to wait until the baby learns to sit on his own and not to sit him up before he and his spine is ready...
Thank You, this video is very helpful, you tell us everything baby save, sometime we don't know how to sitting baby and everything else, you explain it easy to understand
Love this. My friend is an early childhood educator and they don’t use walkers, high chairs etc at preschool because it can delay their development, they are also against tummy time on the floor so I haven’t done this with my baby (she has tummy time on my chest) and has been holding her head up well for weeks
I have a 2 month old that I have worn facing out sometimes 😳 no more! Thanks for the video!!!
My wife and I are expecting our first child this June and your videos have helped me to try and be a better partner through this pregnancy where I often feel lost and unable to help. Thank you for this. Also my sister in law just got us some kits from Lovevery for Christmas so I am glad to hear that you recommend them ☺️
👏🏻👏🏻
This makes sense I've been doing it wrong because I can the results your saying. Thank you..much love from the island's ✊🏽❤️
You’re a wealth of information. Thank you for gaining my trust and guiding me through the sea of baby information. Upseat is being purchased to night and out with the Bumbo. Thanks for providing links 🙏🏼❤️
Hi, so when is a good time in your opinion to use the activity center or forward facing carrier? We now use it at 4 months and I just want to make sure I am not using it before his hips are in their place!
I'm about to be a dad for the first time next month. Thanks for these great tips! My siblings have been using the Bumbo for their kids and I'll definitely let them know.
Congratulations frim Ethiopia.
This is the best video everrrrr. Seriously Soo straightforward and helpful. Great job. thank YOU!!!!!!
Really helpful to fellow moms..I am a mom of a special child born with erb's palsy.. can u please make a video on it
Thank you for such an educational video (and channel). How soon should I get our baby a love every play mat? Thanks.
Hi! I don't really like baby wraps so do you have any other suggestion for a baby carrier that is good? For example artipoppe ones are they any good? Or babybjorn? Thank you ❤️
Thank you so much for your helpful videos, as a busy new mom didn't know what to do with myself and my baby at the beginning. Your videos were a huge help. Thank you.
Your videos helped me so much during labour, now i'm back again to help my baby grow
Little Love Bug Co makes really great soft, flexible soled shoes. It's all my kiddos wear.
Great information thank you so much 😊
I like my baby’s age the most, 16 months 😆! A dream come true. So much fun! I really liked Lovevery too.
Wow, the upseat looks amazing!
This is so so good!! I just watched this and never did any of the above as I intuitively followed my gut. So glad I did 😅. Wasn’t aware of what the baby seat could do😳.
Hi! Is the Bumbo bad or just not preferable to the Upseat? I have a Bumbo - haven't started using it yet - and am wondering if I need to return it. Thank you!
Hi Bridget Thank you for all this great information. I would like to know more about using pacifiers. Are they good or bad?
I really want to thank you!!! I was using my baby career in a wrong way for my new born.
Love the quality, love the face, love the information
Love your videos!! My baby is 4.5 months old and absolutely loves sitting when we pull her up and support her hands or independently in the tripod sit. We have to help her to get in these positions though. Is this okay? I heard from some people we should only let her do it when she can roll into a seated position herself (no assistance from us), so we started to worry!
Wow. I din even thought of learning such. Thanks for sharing
I just purchased the upseat ! I hope it helps my little girl.
Hello, I did some research online before buying my baby her sit up chair for Christmas. I got the summer situp chair with 3 different heights to sit the baby. Have you heard of these and if so what's your opinion on them
My impression is that also a car seat should be used as little as possible, e.g. perhaps only when in an automobile. Do you think that in any other case such as when outside, a carrier or bassinet is preferred ?
Hi Bridget. Can you do a video how to do a physical assessment on a baby at 4 weeks?
Love these tips, I’m so happy that I’ve been doing exactly what you say 🥰🥰🥰🙏
My 10 mo(9 m adjusted) sits with a slouch. She's pretty tiny so we only started noticing the slouch a couple of days ago. She's army crawling n gets on her hands n knees in a seemingly ok posture. Not sure if i should be worried about the slouch or if it's too early to intervene.
This video was so informative! Thank you!
I wish I knew this info with my first. I used a bumbo, jolly jumper, and jumper saucer. My baby was very behind when it came to sitting up, crawling, and waking because I used these things too much.
I love that this video was made!!
I’m from japan and i love that play gym but how can i order this one only available in US.😔
Straight to the point! Love it.
What about the sit-me-up seat by fisher price? I've been using this for my baby and Ive seen a lot of parents use this. I have done research on it and have found nothing negative about it
love your videos!!! I am 39 weeks pregnant and have watched almost all your birthing/preggo videos and I'm excited to see this one about baby as I move towards this amazing next season of having baby in the outside world!!! You also look sun kissed and amazing!!!
How does the upseat compare to the newer 3in1 bumbo floor seat?
Hi Bridget, i would like to ask you, would you recomend the Mamas & Papas bug 3in1 floor and booster seat? Thank you! :)
Absolutely right.. I agree to it completely..
Holy cow. This info is super important! I didn't know this. Thank you for sharing!
What is the amount of time you recommend a day to use a jolly jumper? My 5 month old loves it! Have been using since 4 months. How early is too early? Love your videos! You really helped me with labor and delivery and beyond!
15 minutes max. She didn't mention how early was too early though
I'm wondering about socks or footed pajamas in relation to foot development in the early months. I don't have shoes for my baby but her hands and feet get so cold so she always has socks or pajamas with foot coverings on. Is that bad like shoes?
Hi everyone. My wife and I just had a new born and your videos are helping me be a better father. I feel I’m really struggling but your content is helping me out I’ll be staying tuned
Very educational for first time mamas
I had my baby girl 3 weeks ago and I had been watching your videos during my entire pregnancy. Thanks to you I was able to learn and practice breathing techniques and have an unmedicated birth, like I had planned for, despite family and friends advising me otherwise. Your videos gave me the confidence I needed to follow my instincts during labor and not give in to the epidural. I felt as if my mind and body were completely in-synch. All of this was possible thanks to you and your educational videos. Thank you so much!! 💕
I was just commenting elsewhere on this video about how people tend to listen to their friends and family over science haha. So I’m glad you stick to what you think is important! 👏 Congratulations on your baby 😊
@@wahooooh ttg9
I watched your breathing video during labor and my 14 hrs labor was manageable.
I was wondering about the bumbo. We were given one and it just seemed unsafe & was awkward how it pushed the legs upwards
Can you link a few shoes options
Is the Fisherprice floor seat better for development or the Bumbo multi seat instead of floor seat?
Always SUCH helpful videos on your channel thank you for posting ❤️
Can you please speak about what age to start tummy time and can we place baby on playmat and at what age, also swing/bouncer seat, when should those be used
Hello! Have you heard anything about baby bjorn bouncer and how it affects development?
When would you recommend baby wears mittens? Do you know any affordable similar options to the upseat?
Hey, I noticed in this video you recommend against using Bumbo seats; is the Baby Faves Amazon List (linked in your description) something created by yourself? As I’ve noticed there’s still a Bumbo seat suggested on that list, are there any other items from the list you no longer recommend? Thank you
Thanks for sharing this informative video
Any thoughts on the 4 in 1 Graco baby carrier?
The only things I used for my daughter was educational toys from Monti Kids, which is a montessori program from age 0 to 2 years old. The Montessori Method addresses your child’s cognitive, physical, linguistic, social, and emotional development. I did not use walkers, seating trainings or any other products. She started to wear shoes only when she was walking fully on her own. For her physical body, I let everything happened naturally.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
100% agree. We did the same for our daughter and I feel she was free to concentrate on what she was ready to do from day to day instead of being pushed by us stressed out parents. She was standing up by month 9 and walking at month eleven, right on track. The added bonus is not buying a ton of useless baby equipment which is often at least partly made of plastic.
Any thoughts on the Graco 4 in 1 carrier? He is 2 months but already very heavy and my hands hurt. I'm almost 40 and I am taking boxing training so my hands are sore.
For the nails, get an electric nail file! They have different heads for the age of baby, and don’t hurt at all. I got one for my baby, and have been using it since birth. My babe is 3 weeks now, and I use it twice a day since her nails grow so quickly. It is fast and easy to use, and I’ve not had any big issues with her scratching herself, and never put her in mittens.
Can I ask which one you have? I bought one on Amazon and tried it on my fingernail and it hurt my fingertip when it accidentally touched!
This is perfect for us :) I just gave birth 2weeks ago :)
