Standing Tips

If you are concerned that your baby is not walking, here are a few tips for you.

* Put their toys up high so that they have to stand up to play with them
* Have them wear shoes with firm soles, especially if they tend to stand
on their toes
* Put a child's sized chair in front of the coffee table and put their
favorite toy on the table and encourage them to stand up.
* Minimize carrying
* Discontinue using a walker

For safety use a floor mat. There is an inexpensive mat available at Sam's club for $19.95.
