csh, I was going to suggest a little paddling pool, but got distracted by eBay!

Omg, somehow I have managed to lose 2lb.....no idea how, well I have been trying to eat a bit more healthily, although i have still eaten a fair amount of junk food? It's not as if I don't need to lose weight, but I am definitely not 'trying' too.

I need ideas at the moment K has a bouncy chair that hes about outgrown so almost redundant, and a sit me up cosy from the ELC that he likes to hang his head upside down til it touches the foor so looking like thats heading for the attic too.
He has a blanket that he plays on the floor on and a door bouncer, his walker and a baby gym thing he still likes but I'm looking for something he can sit in contained(!) with his toys thats not a travel cot. At the moment I can't even nip out of the room without him getting into bother!
I was thinking mabe a ball pit or something? What do other people have?[/QUOTE]

A baby who gets into bother the minute I leave the room!! I went through this process and then decided that anything I bought wasn't going to contain him for long (he is most defintely a free-range baby!) so why waste my money?

If I really need him to be contained for a few mins I stick him in his highchair (in front of CBeebies if needs be ), most of the time I let him roam free and don't leave him for long!!

My CM has a paddling pool which she fills with balls - but that will only keep a baby contained until they start crawling?

The only way to contain them is a baby cage

I also have a free-range baby (to a point) I basically put baby gates on the kitchen door and stairs and a fire guard on the fire, there is nothing he can hurt himself on with the fire but I can't be bothered with the mess of coals being pulled all over the place;) There is nothing low down that I don't want him to have.....the only thing left to do is put some door locks on the dvd cabinet. He just roams around the living room/playroom/hallway and as MFD says, i just don't really leave him for long.

Could you baby proof the living room and just let him roam free...

Right must go and p in a pot then off to appt....see you soon xx

Agree in principle with free range baby but hes only six months and I do sometimes need to use the toilet and whatever!
I don't trust him unattended in the highchair either.
Just would rather not have a baby cage from so young but will prob get one eventually!

Just having one of those 'I need a minute to myself' days. I'm only on here cos DD is off school and rolling about the floor with him!

Csh - There are a couple of L&G Activity Centres on my local Netmums for £40. If you are interested, I could check them out. Tempted myself, but hubby would probably kill me as we have no room left. We have the playgym, Jumperoo, highchair, Vtech walker, toybox, cradle swing and bouncy chair in the living room. No wonder there is no room for me to do the Wii Fit!

Off for a shower now. x

I went back about a fortnight on Netmums and found one for £40 in my town that is still for sale so I've mailed to see if she'll take less or :money: depending on your mindset lol

I'd have thought a cage is one of those things you'd have to use from young. My thinking is that if you wait til they're bigger and more independant, they'd dislike suddenly being restricted.

V is free range. I have a gate on the bottom of the stairs, make sure the bathroom door (its downstairs :mad:) is closed, and she's pretty much free to roam.

I think i'm going to attempt to clip J's hair while we're alone. It's my (& his) least favorite thing, but desperately needs doing.
