She finally got him a walker and is doing much better. I'm sure it'll pass once he figures out how to do more on his own, but hopefully the vtech walker will help! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-when-all-baby-wants-to-do-is-stand-up#post-997546 Wed, 07 Aug 2013 18:37:40 +0000 googly-eyes 997546@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dd never needed help, she just went from not doing it to doing it on her own. There was maybe a week of not getting it where I'd just stick her standing up but she didn't get mad when I didn't help... All I can say is I really don't think this will last long, hang in there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-when-all-baby-wants-to-do-is-stand-up#post-997520 Wed, 07 Aug 2013 18:25:51 +0000 boiledpnut 997520@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh gosh, DS is like this right now. He also wants to walk holding our hands. My back is killing me! I hope it passes soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-when-all-baby-wants-to-do-is-stand-up#post-997458 Wed, 07 Aug 2013 17:51:08 +0000 wheres_c 997458@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Weagle: A week! That sounds promising! We just moved, so his crib isnt reassembled yet. Will get daddy on that ASAP</p> <p>@MamaJ: More reason to assemble our crib!</p> <p>@hilsy85: @MamaMoose: Glad to know it won't be long till it's over!</p> <p>@coastmama: We only have hardwood in our dining room (but I bought a walker without thinking about that) I will try him in there, thanks!</p> <p>@mrskc: We have plenty of boxes!!!! Will find one for him to use! Perhaps one labeled baby #2 - I doubt we will be upacking those for a while. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-when-all-baby-wants-to-do-is-stand-up#post-996918 Wed, 07 Aug 2013 14:59:32 +0000 mrskc 996918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just like all things with babies this too shall pass. I remember this phase being a little annoying though because he constantly wanted to be pulling up but hadn't mastered it yet. I would have to hover all the time. I would put a box near him and let him practice pulling up on it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-when-all-baby-wants-to-do-is-stand-up#post-996908 Wed, 07 Aug 2013 14:57:53 +0000 coastmama 996908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are going through this now too, so I put him in his walker and try to get some work done in the kitchen (the only place with hard floors. He follows me around happily. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-when-all-baby-wants-to-do-is-stand-up#post-996903 Wed, 07 Aug 2013 14:57:16 +0000 MamaMoose 996903@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went through this too but it really didn't last long before she was able to pull herself up and then she just cruised happily all day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-when-all-baby-wants-to-do-is-stand-up#post-996901 Wed, 07 Aug 2013 14:56:25 +0000 hilsy85 996901@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup it's a phase...my LO was like that before he learned to crawl. Maybe help him practice pulling up on stuff? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-when-all-baby-wants-to-do-is-stand-up#post-996896 Wed, 07 Aug 2013 14:55:41 +0000 MamaJ 996896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DS can pull himself up but not all the time. Sometimes I just stand him up and let him hold on to the table. Then when he falls he tries again and sometimes gets it. Sometimes I just do it for him if I have to get something done! Lol. He also learned in the crib first so I put some toys in there and he practices pulling up and if he falls he just starts playing with the toys. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-when-all-baby-wants-to-do-is-stand-up#post-996888 Wed, 07 Aug 2013 14:52:43 +0000 Weagle 996888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's a phase! It probably won't be too long before he figures it out himself. I would be surprised if he doesn't have it figured out within a week. My LO figured it out in her crib first. Maybe do some playtime in there? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-when-all-baby-wants-to-do-is-stand-up#post-996867 Wed, 07 Aug 2013 14:48:56 +0000 wheres_c 996867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>B has just started pulling up (by holding onto one of us) but isn't able to do it on his own. He also started crawling in the past month.</p> <p>For the past week, ALL he wants to do is stand up/be pulled up.<br /> He cant pull up on his own yet and just gets frustrated if you don't help him.<br /> As much as I want to just sit on the floor all day and be his standing support, I need to unpack from the move!<br /> He seems to hate the exersaucer now (is it time to retire it at 8 months?)<br /> I ordered the Vtech sit to stand walker from amazon hoping it will help.<br /> Please tell me it gets better!!!<br /> Are there any other toys that may help him?<br /> How long till he will be able to pull up on his own?</p> <p>ARGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHH!<br /> I thought @runningelley posted on this but I searched and couldnt find it! </p>
