Boc - DS likes to stand up too! He has since he was about three months old. Very strong legs and would thrust himself up. I asked my baby massage teacher and she said if I was worried to get him to straddle a thigh and then he can stand as much as he likes and bounce etc. She said to make sure if not doing that way to hold him under his arms and not by his hands. I think I remember her saying it is not likely to cause bow legs but I think she was more concerned with hips and ankles having too much weight put on them before they are strong enough. Now DS is older and stronger and can sit up I am no longer do the straddling a thigh thing but I still hold him by his armpits. We also put him in the jolly jumper which I know the jury is still out on as to whether they are good or not!
DS loves standing up still and we have a struggle when we go to put him on the floor to sit as he refuses to bend his knees to allow a sitting position! This happens with the highchair as well!! He would stand up all day if he could!
Just a quick one til I can get on for a proper chat. I think I may have the signs of mastitis (which I have been so paranoid about gettting and here it is). I've had absolutely no problems with feeding, soreness etc and have never had to do anything to prevent cracking or dryness, it's been a well oiled system but now I am feeling really tired, a bit sick and have shooting pains in my left breast. I'm off to search the other forums for answers but if anyone knows, could you let me know?
Do you have a lump or sore red spot? Shooting pains I'm not sure...
Give the ABA a call mate 1800-mum2mum. They'll talk you through it and let you know what to do. Take care yo'self!
Murph I had it with C and It put me in bed for 3 days I couldnt move. I also had lots of plocked ducts with him. They are sore spots to touch and painful to feed. Whatever it is you should not stop feeding but seek medical advice. Hope all is well soon.
