Baby pull up bar / structure

3 replies

MNSavedMyLockdown · 13/05/2021 09:51

My baby is trying to pull up to stand but we don't have any sturdy furniture in our flat- just one wobbly coffee table and squishy chairs / sofa. Therefore she can't do it on her own spontaneously, only with one of us holding the table steady. I feel she's being disadvantaged as she's desperate to pull herself up to stand. Is there any DIY option I can use? I don't want to drill a Montessori pull up bar into our wall for what will be a short phase, but wondering how else I can support her. Does anyone have any ideas?

Ikea coffee table for about £20?

Also those push along toys are great - the VTech one everyone has (there will be one on Marketplace) and any wooden truck with anti-tip.

IME they will find things to pull up on and if they don't they still learn to walk anyway. I wouldn't worry too much about it. DS2 was pulling up on his buggy, the stairgate (blocks the kitchen - we are also in a flat), TV stand, bed, cot.

Mine loved a pouffe footstool for that stage.

Can you brace the wobbly coffee table underneath somehow?
