I put my LO on it immediately. She never warmed up to it, though. She has never liked to lie down and was always happier sitting in the bouncy chair. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-age-do-babies-start-using-activity-gyms#post-139849 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 08:51:08 +0000 heffalump 139849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I put her on it when she was a newborn for tummy time. She used it for a while- but now she's 9 months and won't stay on it for longer than 2 seconds. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-age-do-babies-start-using-activity-gyms#post-138986 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 17:17:15 +0000 SAHM0811 138986@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started putting both of them on a playmat at 4 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-age-do-babies-start-using-activity-gyms#post-138941 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 16:15:48 +0000 Honeybee 138941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Immediately? I laid DD and Ds on the mat for a few minutes at a time pretty much as soon as we got home from the hospital. It's a comfortable place for them to hang out and it's great for tummy time, so you can use it right away, if you want. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-age-do-babies-start-using-activity-gyms#post-138937 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 16:12:09 +0000 lemondrop 138937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got one at 7 weeks- he was driving us crazy, we just couldn't keep him happy and entertained all the time, so when we put him in the toy he had a blast! He would play for about 20 minutes before wearing out. Now at 4 months he lasts 10-15 minutes before wanting to do something else. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-age-do-babies-start-using-activity-gyms#post-138921 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 16:02:29 +0000 Mrs. Pen 138921@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started him on tummy and floor time around 4 weeks old, but he really didn't like it. He just wanted adult interaction and being held. He didn't start actually engaging in play on the floor mat until about 8 weeks, he is 9 weeks now and enjoys looking at the toys that hang on it, but only for up to about 10 minutes at a time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-age-do-babies-start-using-activity-gyms#post-138851 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 15:18:18 +0000 mediagirl 138851@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Obviously, these can be used for tummy time, as well as playtime. What age did your LO start using an activity gym? </p>
