The Bumbo Dispute



I originally got the Bumbo for Loralai because I had heard a lot of great things about it, and it seemed it would solve the issue with Loralai really wanting to sit up, but obviously being too small to do it on her own and the Bumbo allowed her to basically be able to do that.

She loved the Bumbo in the beginning would sit in there, coo, smile, and most of the time poop! But lately, and I do not know if it is just the age/stage, but she goes in there and after 30 seconds if fussing to come out, she even pushes her bum up to try and get out. What makes me think that this is just a faze is that she has been doing this with a lot of her toys, the playmat is considered no longer fun after 5 minutes (if she can see someone else in the room), and her swing that used to put her to sleep in a matter of seconds, is alright for 20 minutes as long as a Baby Einstein video is playing! So maybe not liking this Bumbo chair is a faze, I hope so because that little chair cost mommy $60!!

Wow $60!! We got ours for $30. That is insane.

Preston is the same way. He lasts about oh, 5 min in the Bumbo. But here is our problem - Preston is a big boy!! He is 3 months old and 15.5 lbs. So when he sits in the bumbo, the way that the bottom is shaped is causes him to slouch forward and his diaper folds into his tummy and pushes on it. Without fail, he will barf every time he sits in it. It is sad. So unless he is buck naked, he can't sit in it because of the diaper issue. :(

Yea those Canadian prices for you!

Poor little Preston spiting up everytime in the bad Bumbo!!

I am hoping that once she can support her back a bit more she will not have the same issues any longer. It almost seems as though it hurts her little back. We will see.
