Opponents of the proposed ban stairs cause argue that most of the injuries, not hikers. But since it is impossible to eliminate the stairs, you are advised to stop using walkers, “said the drafting of the Health News.
To allay consumer groups, some manufacturers have revised their walkers and have developed security devices. Yet the fact remains that many hikers are dangerous and pose a threat to your child.
If your child does not have a walker, do not make the mistake of buying one. If you decide to get one, choose a model that is too large to fit through the door and pay particular attention to your child. In Consumer Reports’ Guide to Baby Products, Sandy Jones and Werner Freitag offers the following advice:
Remove the stroller wheels to prevent children from going too quickly and make them more prone to accidents.
Never leave children unattended.
Never use hikers near the stairs, steps, or thresholds. Make sure the surfaces are flat and free of objects that cause May trigger inside or outside.
To reduce the chances of the child from sliding across the seat, to check that the two feet of the child from touching the ground, and never wear the marchers of the child in it.

For all you moms who follow the "no solids before 6 months" rule from AAP?
do you follow the other things that the American Academy of Pediatrics say too??
such as not to use a baby swing until 7-9 months of age and not for more than 30 minutes, 2 times a day.
Not allowing to watch ANY television until 2 years of age?
& not to use walkers?
just to name a few.
I see moms on here saying "the guideline for solids is 6 months according to the AAP"
just curious if these individuals are following all the other "guidelines"
Great question…I’m curious to know this too.

Not being an American, the only one I’ve heard of is the solid food. I followed this because I didn’t want to do anything that might damage their health.

First, the 6 month guidelines are not just from the AAP such as the WHO and at least 6 other leading agencies.
Anyhow, I do not follow all those guidelines to the T but take them into consideration. The swing thing makes perfect sense. The reasons are sound. The TV thing is more out of developmental and social concern but is conservative. I let my kids watch less than 3 hours of tv per week because the reasons are good, but not good enough to prevent any tv whatsoever.
The 6 month rule is sound as well. Even with outside indicators, internally baby is just not ready for solids yet. On this I differed to my husband’s judgment. He is a doctor who took part in many of the trials the led to this guideline. It would be idiotic to ignore sound scientific evidence just because I find it inconvenient.
References :
Well, my son absolutely hated the baby swing. So, we didn’t have a decision to make in that department.
Because of food allergies I was very careful to not feed him solids until 6 months.
And he watched tv younger than 2. He actually learned tons of vocabulary, the alphabet, numbers, and how to read largely from exposure to tv. And, no I didn’t park him in front of it ALL of the time. But it was a non issue in our home. He is now 6 and reads, comprehends, and does math at a sixth grade level.

Since I did not follow "the right way" then are my kids doomed? Some of these things are so ridiculous. You have to do what is best for that particular baby/child because the things they say are good for our children are constantly changing. When my twins were newborns one had colic and the only thing that would sooth her was a swing (although they may be more powerful these days) You will drive yourself crazy trying to do everything perfect. All babies grow teeth at different ages and when they are able to eat solids, it’s time. Do what’s best for you and follow your maternal instinct!

I have always made intelligent, educated choices. No, I don’t follow the rules blindly, but I DO look at the reasons for the rules.
For example, I would question the guidelines for routine vitamin D supplements. They don’t make scientific sense to me.
But delaying solids DOES make sense. Why would nature make it necessary for a healthy baby to eat solids when baby isn’t physiologically/physically ready to eat them? [Nature doesn't know about rice cereal. Nature seems to intend babies to start solids in the 7-9 month range -- when babies typically get some teeth, can sit up, and can pick up foods and put them in their mouth.] The trend to early solids started back when most babies were fed nutritionally-inadquate home-made formulas. Those babies became seriously malnourished, so it WAS necessary to push solids early to prevent scurvey and anemia. The risks of early solids were outweighed by the benefits. But breastmilk and modern commercial formula are both nutritionally complete, so there’s no need. for anything more until at least 6 months.
But, to answer your specific questions:
1. Never used a swing
2. Never used a walker
3. I don’t recall now if she watched any actual TV before age 2, but if she did, (as opposed to being in the room while I was watching) it would have been minimal.
References :
I followed the "no solids before 6 months" rule because I believed that it was best for my son’s health. He wasn’t showing the signs of readiness and I wasn’t going to push it. I haven’t followed some of the other AAP guidelines because, as a parent, I can pick and choose which works best for my family. I chose to use a swing occasionally when he was an infant and I had exhausted every other option to soothe him. We didn’t use a walker because we didn’t find it necessary. At 14 months old, he does watch a small amount of television. We’re content with our decisions.

Unfortunately for the children out there, there seem to be AAPs and other groups who act as the "common sense" for everyone.
I am an Intelligent, educated, experienced, loving, and attentive individual who doesn’t need anyone else making the rules or guidelines for my children. That being said, both of my older children began solid food when they were ready for solid foods (5 months, and 4 1/2 months), and my youngest is 6 months today and still cannot tolerate solid food.
For the people out there who believe that the government (and its agencies) should do the thinking for them: you probably shouldn’t be procreating to raise another generation of people who cannot make Intelligent informed decisions, and most certainly have no concept of accountability and taking the consequences (good or bad) for your own actions.

I am a parent and I make my own decisions for my children. The AAP does not get to make decisions for my children.
I didn’t give my kids solids before 6 months of age.
I didn’t use a baby swing. Not that I didn’t want to. My oldest hated it so I got rid of it and didn’t try for my youngest.
My kids watch some TV. Mostly stuff on PBS.
We didn’t use walkers. Not much point. My kids were walking at 9 and 10 months, repectively.
We also slept with our kids and breastfed them for years. One of our children was born in our living room. We make our own parenting choices and I’m sure the AAP likes some of our choices and frowns on others. I don’t really care what they think.

Its hard to follow those I think. I look at the different rules but than will go to my ped. and they told me to start my son on solids at 4 months. So who do you follow? We started him on solids then and he didnt really care for it. So we stopped. He is now on solids and he loves them (5 months in a couple of days). I think it depends on the baby for that.
The swing your talking about is the outside find right? If so I agree with that one. But the ones that you use inside that swing back and forth we use all the time. He loves it and when he was a new born that was all he fall asleep in.
We just started using a walker and he loves it. It is helping him get his little legs ready to walk. I haven’t seen this rule. What is wrong with walkers?
My son favored one side of his head over the other. So we had the tv on one day and he heard it and turned the other way to look at it. Now we set him in front of it for at least 30 minutes a day to even his head out/strenghten his neck. Also if you watch tv it is going to be hard for your children to not watch tv.
References :
No, I follow whatever guidelines his doctor says. My son is 9 months has always used a swing, now uses a walker & watches t.v.
References :
didn’t use the baby swing much with my first child- I think she started it at 6 months. Never used it with my second.
Didn’t use a walker with either. My first walked unassisted at 9 months. Second at 7 months.
With my first we didn’t have her watch TV until she was 18 months. Would have waited longer but we had a 9 hour car ride (one way) and I gave in one that one.
With my second child I am sure she see TV some as her older sister watches TV.
- And yes I waited to give solids until 6 months with both children.
– any other questions?– and my child doctor said that after 4 months it was fine to start solids. But I just didn’t see the point before 6 months. I don’t look down on those that start at four months at all. But it wasn’t for me and I would personally not recommend it. And I realize in rare case of reflux that solids might be necessary before 4 months.

You can’t follow EVERYTHING they tell you, you really can’t. I actually started solids at 5 months, shame on me
and my sons were in the baby swing for short periods of time probably starting at about 2 months!
References :
I am following the "no solids before 6 months" rule for my twin boys (I didn’t for my older son, but now i’ve read more about it, and decided to for my twins and any other kids i have), but no i do not follow all the rules the AAP have out there. And i think some of those rules are very stupid lol. Most babies have outgrown wanting to use swings by the time they are 7 to 9 months old, and i think as long as the baby isn’t in it all day there is no reason to only limit it to an hour total a day, that seems crazy to me lol. as some babies are happiest when in swings. I also let my kids watch TV, as i think as long as it’s in moderation it’s fine for children under 2 to watch TV, and that guideline is kinda ridiculous to me. I never used walkers though as i think they aren’t neccassay, although if others want to use them, safely then i don’t think that’s a prob, they just weren’t something i wanted to use for my babies.
Another Guideline i am following is the car seat one, i’m keeping my kids rear facing as long as possible, and after that i will be keeping them in a 5 point harness front facing for as long as possible, and i will also be keeping them in a booster seat til they reach the weigth limit on it.
I also am follwing the guideline to breastfeed my twins til at least a year and then as far beyond it as it is mutally desired by both me and my boys.
Not sure if there’s anymore that i’m following or not following as i can’t think of anymore at the moment.
Hope this helps,

I follow the guidline of my instincts as a mother. My son started solids at 5 months, because he was showing obvious signs of being ready.
BTW What in the world is wrong with swings and walkers? Not that I’m going to take them away, because my son LOVES them.

I’m British, so the AAP rules aren’t something I ever paid any attention to. Didn’t even know it existed when my kids were that age.
Baby swing? Never owned one.
My kids did occasionally see TV – we watched the news in the evenings. They didn’t "watch" any until they were well past 2 – they weren’t interested.
Never owned a walker.
What was your point again? Surely it wasn’t "if you’ve ever done anything which isn’t advised, you may as well ignore all other recommendations as well"?
References :
I follow the recommendation because I have read the studies and the science, and understand why the recommendation is what it is.
I do not simply follow recommendations because they say so, and I do not follow all recommendations put out by health organizations, I do my own research. I research the recommendation first and then decide what I feel is best for my child. In this instance of solid introduction it is blatantly clear to me that solids before 6 months are not a good idea, serve no purpose, and poses more harm than good.

I am a mother of 5. I have 3 that are ages 20,19 and 18. I also have 2 that is ages 5 years and 3 months. I have always gave solids at 4-5 months depending if they were ready. First, i make sure that they can hold they’re head up and sit up themselves. Babies develop differently and it depends on when they are ready. I will test a little food first, of course but it never caused a problem for me. they are very healthy children and also very smart. I never had problems so i think that it is up to you and your baby. Use maternal instinct.

This is a great question. But to all the "no solids before 6 months" why are many pediatricians and licensed doctors recommending that solids are started at 4 months. Surely they don’t want our children to choke and die. There are 2 sides to the story, and just because some well-known agencies are saying wait til 6 months, many peds and doctors are saying 4 months is best. So why would that be? I’ve never heard the swing thing. That is ridiculous. My son has used his swing since he was 2 months old, and sometimes he wouldn’t sleep in his crib, so I had him sleep in his swing cause he loved sleeping in there. Right now, he is in his swing, playing with the toys and enjoying himself. What else are babies suppose to do when they cannot move. Lay on their back or their tummy all the time? He is in the upright position so I feel that the swing is beneficial to him in learning to sit upright and help strengthen his back and neck muscles.

The AAP is a load of cr..
I fed my son solids at 5 months
He used his baby swing
He just got a walker.
Bite me.
Me, my sister, my cousins, my uncles, my aunts, my grandparents.
All ate solids before 6 months.
We are all perfect =]
literally. We are perfect.haha
They take precautions to everything.
Next thing will be to wear helmets in the car because it could help.
or to have your children rear facing until 7 years old or until their legs just cant be scrunched any longer.
References :
I don’t follow all the AAP guidlines, but I do believe in the no solids until 6 months one.
You do what makes sense to you, you’re the parent.
I follow a feeding schedule, which AAP doesn’t like, and I put my boys in swings since we got home from the hospital, and I’m not opposed to them watching some TV before age 2, although the boy I nannied didn’t like TV until age 2, and it was like he didn’t see it. His older brother would watch it, but the younger one didn’t even notice it until at least 18 months.
Sometimes what we do simply coincides with what the AAP recommends. And they are not the only resource on child rearing by a long shot.
I personally don’t believe cave babies ate jarred foods. I think they just had breastmilk, which is why they have a strong suck and no teeth. Also breastmilk is healthier, and I don’t think there is any debate about that, so regardless of the AAP, it seems to be that holding off on solids until the age when babies get teeth and can chew things seems to be what nature intended, and also still the most healthy thing despite all of our modern technology.
We can go to the moon and make computers but breast is still best.

I’m pretty sure they are referring to real swings, the ones without head supports. The reason to wait is to your child doesn’t break his neck. They don’t mean the inside ones made for babies under 25 pounds.
But yes, you do need to think for yourself, and listen to your doctor, and not take the AAP as the final word, and ESP. don’t take a bunch of quacks on yahoo answers as a the final word! Remember, these are NOT professionals, and have never met you or your child.
