Baby High Chair from Ikea

Ok, let's take a break from all the food reviews thus far, coz to think of all the food that I had eaten in Melaka in just 1 day gives me the jibbers!

As Baby E enters his 8th month (and coming to 9 months soon!), I noticed a big change in his physical development - he has mastered the skill of crawling, and I mean crawling in full speed! Sometimes I wonder where he gets the energy from, moving from one place to another. It is so funnny that I get exhausted so easily simply chasing him around the house. I can't imagine how it would be like when he starts walking. Plus, one of the challenging things that I faced lately is during feeding time. After taking a few spoonful of porridge, he tends to become very restless and starts throwing a mad fit. Usually, we would feed him by putting him in his bumbo baby seat (which appears to be getting smaller for his growing body), or a more tedious way, which is to carry him with one hand, and holding his bowl in another hand.

So to solve this problem, we decided to get a high chair from Ikea for him.

If you want your baby to feel more comfortable while sitting in the high chair, you may also get Ikea's Barnslig Support Cushion to give your baby a soft and more comfy back support.

Colourful, isn't it? ;)

This is how it will look like after fixing the cushion to the seat.

With the high chair, not only were we able to use it during feeding time, but we were also able to place him in the chair while doing some housework or cooking in the kitchen. However, we made sure that the baby was always within eye distance so that he would not be left unattended and he was able to see us too.


Sometimes, whenever he gets bored, we would put books or toys on the tray to keep him occupied. 

  


You may opt for some other high chairs, but Ikea's high chair is by far one of the most affordable ones around without burning a hole in the pocket! :)
