How long should

[Lilelephant]

A 13 day old spend in a bouncy chair? I find with his cold it's the only place he can go without coughing etc cos he is more upright.

An hour, maybe 2 at a time. At that young age its best for them to be laid out flat, its not good for their backs to be bent at an angle. When my first was born I let her sleep in hers for a few nights coz i thought it was ok (and thats the only place she'd sleep), MW nearly went off her head when she found out, said it should only be short periods at a time.

They never sit long in the one place at that age anyway before they cry, so i wouldnt worry, its more when they get older, its kinda tempting just to leave them there, I try & alternate mat & chair
