is your baby ready for a high chair?

development for children varies vastly from child to child and sometimes it is difficult to decide when the time is right to move forward into unknown territory. leaving those "baby" elements behind can be quite challenging and upsetting for parents. not wanting to move on prematurely, parents can risk delaying their child developmentally. for this reason i have devised a check list of sorts to help a parent realize when their child is ready to move to a high chair.





1. the child is interested in solid food.





2. the child can sit up without assistance.





3. the child looks like this in a bouncy seat...



this concludes this parenting tutorial. any questions?

(no babies were harmed in the making of this tutorial. sure, most mothers would react first to grabbing their child and harboring their safety...but after two others, my first reaction is to grab the camera.)

That's exactly when we switched to a high chair, actually!
