No...it's fine for a minute here and there. But developmentally/neurologically his legs aren't ready for long-time weight-bearing just yet. [ Reply | More ]

I'm saying don't hold him in a standing position for longer than he wants...which is probably just a few minutes at a time. [ Reply | More ]

of course - i only mean for a few minutes at a time but he does like to do it a few times a day. i would never hold him purposefully in a standing position if he didn't want to! [ Reply | More ]
