Just a quickie..

Ollie is constantly trying to stand up when i sit him on my knee (i probably havent helped matters by lifting him up in the air..he loves it!) A friend said to me that bouncing them even gently at that age can damage their legs as their ligaments arent formed. I keep telling Ollie we cant stand anymore but hes not having any of it!

Also... another thing he keeps doing is when he is sat on me facing away i hold his hands and he pulls himself up so he is sitting upright.. could this harm his arm sockets?

I know these are probably such stupid questions but ive not had any dealings with babys before. Ollie just doesnt seem to want to sit still and seems to want to get up! I thought he was far to young to be doing this!
 
If he is pulling himself up to sitting you should be OK but never pick him up by the arms as that could cause damage. it's really easy to dislocates baby shoulders I've heard.
