What is a comfortable environment for a baby who is not yet able to move as he or she wishes? There is a product called a bouncer that is designed for use by babies from newborns to around two years old. Although it is only used for a short period of time, it can become an indispensable item during the difficult period of starting to raise a baby. Let us introduce you to the bouncer!
What is a bouncer?
A bouncer is a chair for babies that can rock back and forth like a cradle. There are many different types, from those that move with the baby’s own weight and movement, to high-performance ones that are electrically powered and have speakers.
The need for a bouncer and experiences with how to use one!
Since the period of use is relatively short, from newborn to around 2 years old, some moms rent bouncers, but when do they actually need to be used?
Here are three experiences of how to use them.
1. Use when traveling
At home, I used it when my baby was waiting in the bouncer in the dressing room before taking a bath. It
was only for a short time, but it was useful.
Moms have a lot to do! There are many situations where you want to move around the house but can’t leave your baby behind. In those cases, a bouncer can take your baby to a place where you can keep an eye on them.
2. When you want to calm your baby
The good thing about a bouncer is that it rocks when the baby moves, so I think it’s a good idea to leave it on when your baby is sitting happily, but rock it when you’re trying to get your baby to sleep or when they’re fussy
When a baby gets fussy, the mother will hold the baby to soothe it, but holding the baby for a long time is a big burden on the mother’s body. If the baby calms down in the bouncer, you may be able to rest a little after giving birth.
3. If you are worried about vomiting
It was very useful in my home. It seemed to help with regurgitation of milk when the baby hadn’t fully lowered after drinking milk. And the rocking motion seemed to help lull him to sleep.
When your baby is still an infant, you may be worried about them vomiting breast milk or formula. In that case, if you use a bouncer with a slight incline, you may have less risk of vomiting than if you let your baby lie on the floor. Be
sure to keep an eye on your baby when using the bouncer to prevent them from choking on the food if they do vomit.
Use with caution
Bouncers can be used from about three weeks of age, and depending on how you use them, they can be a great help to mothers. Some products can be used from newborns, so be sure to check them out. It
‘s best to keep an eye on your baby and pay close attention to how to use them so you can use them well.
