My DS is 3 months old and he will NOT lay down., happily unless hs is tired..he hates it. He is just such an observant kid. If I prop him up to sit he is fine....I heard there was a cushy seat to help them sit up? Haa anyone heard of this?

He is only 3 months, but LOVES to sit up, or course not on his own .

The seat that they sit up in is called the Bumbo seat, it's awesome! Ds hated just laying there too, he would be frustrated becuase he couldn't move himself. Also, that play gyms are good too, have you tried that yet?

I just looked that up on the internet and that Bumbo is AWESOME! I am going to go out tomorrow and get this. DS can hold his head up and he is very rock solid.

The play gym I have is one that he has to lay on his back to play with...is this what you are talking about?

Hope you have better luck than I did.... DS HATES his Bumbo.. He loves the exersaucer, his chair, but not the stinkin' Bumbo... I try to make it as fun as I can, he just hates it!

We got the Bumbo because my 4 month old loves to be sitting up but can't on her own yet. She hated it. She would lean herself forward in it and cry. I returned it. I have found that the boppy works a lot better.
