He's 5 months old, and when I help him up into sitting position on the floor he needs only minimal support to avoid sagging sideways. He really likes to sit, but not so much in his bouncy seat, I think because it offers little support for his back. He sits much better on the (firm) sofa when we put him between my husband and me and he really enjoys looking around.I would like to get him more involved in mealtime (not eating yet for another month though) by putting him in a high chair (going to IKEA this afternoon to buy one) by the table, but I'm not sure if I should wait until he can sit completely unassisted.
The Ikea high chairs are NOT suitable for a supported sitter, he NEEDS to be an Independent Sitter before you can safely put him in a high chair from Ikea. I wouldn't put my 6 1/2 month old in an Ikea chair, until they are an independent sitter I would much rather use a 5 point harnessed high chair. The Ikea chairs are better suited to the 9 months and older age bracket. Honestly, if you can find one I'd start out with a chair that reclines as my kids often fall asleep at the dinner table and slump. My daughter actually fell asleep in an Ikea Antilop high chair and started to fall over the side of the chair. If we hadn't been quick she would have suffered a rather nasty knock to the head.
He replaced into in simple terms fairly drained :) like some human beings babies too get much greater sleepy after ingesting! Take a speedy photograph for the photograph album then pass him to his crib to proceed drowsing. My son has by no skill fallen asleep yet he did the gotta save wakeful head falling over lol. I in simple terms positioned him to mattress until now he easily fell asleep.
The use of a high chair isn't recommended for children who can't sit unassisted. I had a high chair and it said not recommended for children under 9 months old. So I would wait. You can sit your son on your lap while you eat.
I would wait a bit just because i heard it messes up there back. Hes a little young wait till hes at least 6 months. They grow fast and there skills too. :-) but buying one now would be fine but id wait till he can sit by himself .
I'd try it out. He seems to be sitting well. Most high chair have back support so I don't think he'll need assistance. I'd buy one while you can because he'll need it eventually. I think having him involved with meal time would be great. My sister in law put her baby in he high chair and she would look around and play. She enjoyed it.
