But I did it anyway! For those of you who don't have a pediatric physical therapist in your life you may not know that exer-saucers are highly frowned upon. Exer-saucers have the potential to encourage toe walking, muscle tone issues, hip problems...and more. We have been advised to not let Dane use one, because of his high risk for problems. So, we had been good and not even opened the exer-saucer that was so generously bought at his baby shower. But as Dane gets older and gets so excited for new things...we just couldn't resist letting him play with it! He absolutely had a blast, it was encouraging to see him grabbing at the toys and using hands so well. We only let him sit in it for 15 minutes, and based on what we see with Dane so far...my Mommy gut is telling me that 15 minutes once a day isn't going to hurt!

Haley had this same saucer and she loved it too! I heard the same things about them being a big no-no. But I had to occupy her somehow. She was always looking for something new and the saucer kept her well occupied and entertained. Gotta love how much they enjoy new things!
