Baby bouncer

Hi! Most bouncers are safe from around 2-3 weeks old once your baby weighs at least 8 pounds, plenty of mums I know started using theirs that early just to have a safe spot to set baby down when they needed their hands free, even if bub wasn't really "entertained" yet. The weight and age guideline is there because newborns need good neck support, so do check your bouncer's manual to be sure. On the flip side, once your baby starts trying to sit up or gets close to 20 pounds (usually around 5-6 months for some babies), it's time to transition out, my friend went through the same thing and said the automatic bouncer was a lifesaver early on but honestly became less useful pretty quickly once her son got stronger. Just a heads-up though, it's worth checking with your paediatrician or health visitor too, especially if you're thinking of using it for long stretches, just so you're clear on safe usage for your little one.

Hey! So from what I hear, most bouncers are safe from newborn stage onwards if baby is at least 8 pounds, but honestly a lot of mums I know didn't bother until around 2, 3 months when baby could actually enjoy it more, one friend said she used hers daily from 3 months onwards and it was a lifesaver for keeping her little one entertained while she got things done. The main thing people stress is always strapping baby in properly, and you can usually flip or adjust it to use until around age 2 or 20 pounds depending on the model. That said, it's worth checking the specific weight and age guidelines on your bouncer, and maybe a quick word with your doctor or health visitor just to be sure it's the right fit for your newborn. All the best!
