My mom always used a bouncer on my nieces and nephews and she actually prefers to hold them while feeding. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/starting-solids-without-a-high-chair#post-353452 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 09:32:15 +0000 Mrsbells 353452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks!<br /> I did use the bumbo and it was okay, but now i have a high chair so I will prefer to use that. The bumbo was a bit messy </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/starting-solids-without-a-high-chair#post-351386 Sat, 20 Oct 2012 05:30:19 +0000 dswx3me 351386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have a highchair and I have been feeding my baby for going on 2 weeks now without it. I just sit at the table, holding him in my lap with his back to my stomach, him facing the table, and spoon the food in his mouth...it works good for us....its fairly simple until he starts trying to put his hands in his mouth, but then I just hold his hands down with my free hand for a few minutes and he generally learns to keep them down himself..... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/starting-solids-without-a-high-chair#post-351284 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 21:43:29 +0000 Mrsbells 351284@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks everyone, i do have a bumbo so i will try that tomorrow.<br /> Yeah it was supposed to be new. This isn't the first time i have experienced this with Amazon Sellers </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/starting-solids-without-a-high-chair#post-351264 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 21:24:34 +0000 MamaCate 351264@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used the bebepod (like the bumbo but can be strapped to a chair) as a highchair for a long time. When we have traveled we have had LO sit on one of our laps while the other one feeds her at it works fine. Just don't wear anything you don't mind getting food on!</p> <p>I am so sorry about your booster! we got ours from amazon and had no problems! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/starting-solids-without-a-high-chair#post-351249 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 21:16:46 +0000 prettylizy 351249@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>as long as someone is willing to hold her, you can make it work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/starting-solids-without-a-high-chair#post-351245 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 21:15:20 +0000 Weagle 351245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO won't sit in the Bumbo and she no longer likes to be reclined (like in the bouncer), so DH just holds her. Hopefully, she will be able to sit in the booster soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/starting-solids-without-a-high-chair#post-351235 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 21:10:16 +0000 skibobrown 351235@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you have a bumbo? We let our friends borrow our high chair for the weekend (DD) is 6 months, and we're just going to feed our daughter in her bumbo chair. DD is also just happy to sit in my lap and eat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/starting-solids-without-a-high-chair#post-351223 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 21:02:03 +0000 Springtime 351223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did it say it was new? That's crazy. You can definitely still start solids. Just hold LO in lap upright sideways and feed her, or do you have a bumbo? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/starting-solids-without-a-high-chair#post-351222 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 21:01:49 +0000 Mrs. Pen 351222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DO you have a bouncer chair? I used that for awhile because he had a hard time sitting up in his chair. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/starting-solids-without-a-high-chair#post-351221 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 21:00:45 +0000 Mrsbells 351221@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ordered the fisherprice deluxe booster seat from amazon and Received it a few weeks ago but never opened the box. I just opened it and it's not even new! It's clearly been used there are scratches all over and dirt in the scratches. Is out possible to feed get without the high chair? Or should i wait till i can get a new one </p>
