monitoring required.

Detailed Answer:
hello and welcome to health care magic forum. Thanks for writing to us again. I appreciate your concern towards your baby.
There is a given age above which a child can play in centre bouncy . All have required age of the child so that it doesnot hurt your baby. seven and a half month is too young an age to leave a child in centre bouncy, although if your centre bouncy brochure says that it's safe for a baby of that age then it's ok. As for time limit there's no limit as a child can play for whatever time he wants until he is bored but needs close monitoring so that there is no physical trauma. Playing is always good for a child as it leads to physical and mental dovelopment. Regards From Dr Manisha Jain

Great. Thanks so much. The reconvenrecommended age for ours is 4 months. I've read that some people think if they use their tippy toes too much they may become tippy toe walkers, is there any validity to that? our daughter can put her feet flat, but goes up on her toes a lot.
