[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We loved our Ergo. Absolutely loved it.

I also heard that the Bumbo is bad for hip development and never used or needed one.

The Rock and Play moms annoyed me the most. They’d say it was a must-have, then complain about weaning their kids off of it at 3 months, right when they were returning to work. Also, I knew several babies with severely misshaped heads from sleeping too much in the Rock and Play. No, thank you. [/quote]

I never called it a must-have, but I did order a rock and play when my kid was about a month old and it was a lifesaver. My kid would only sleep in a carrier or if one of us was holding her when she was that age. I remember the day the rock and play showed up, my husband came home from work and I was in the kitchen putting dinner together and our baby was in the rock and play napping and he just looked at me like "OMG THIS IS AMAZING" and I was like "I KNOW, I CAN'T BELIEVE IT" but silently because we didn't want to wake her. Also, while I don't attribute this to the rock and play, around the same time was when she finally started sleeping functionally at night (not through the night, but like she could eat and then go back to sleep, instead of needing to be held/rocked all night). If you have a really challenging newborn sleeper, you get why something like that is life changing.

But I didn't even know what a Bumbo was until this thread. I have no idea what it is really even for![/quote]
