My 7.5 month old is eager to pull up on anything he can just to get into standing position, but I'm wondering what is safe. I feel like the safest and only thing I have around the house are my legs. Everything else seems dangerous and would definitely require supervision. Should I let him pull up on these potentially dangerous (if alone) things while supervised, or just keep them away from him? What other options does he have to pull himself up, other than the crib and climbing on me? Is this where Gymboree classes come in? I'm so confused! =P

I just let them pull up on everything, couches, tables, boxes. They seemed fine.

She pulls up on anything that has height. Even if they hurt themselves, they'll eventually learn.

My baby pulls up on her play pen enclosure fence and also on her toys like her walker.

DS liked using the coffee table, couch, recliner, entertainment center, and the chairs to our table. We didn't have anything that I was worried would tip over, so we let him cruise freely. I wouldn't worry unless you have something that you're worried would fall over.

Everything from couches, coffee table, fire place hearth, etc. was fair game.

I let LO pull up on whatever he wants, I just watch him and I'm ready to catch him if needbe.

@Freckles: That's my problem. He eventually falls over, on his head, or flat on his face, then he cries up a storm! Hahaha. I guess I feel bad about that!

Anything except our entertainment center.

Nearly everything... we babyproofed so anything unsturdy was put away or thrown away... We have furniture (couches, bookshelves, dressers etc) he uses, chairs, his toy box, his crib, my leg and now he will use the walls, cupboards etc.

Almost everything as long as it's safe! She likes pulling up on chairs the most though.
-
Anything that wouldn't tip over.

Like @sera_87: , anything that wouldn't tip over.
