my 4 month old baby boy always tried so straighten his legs and attemps to walk when held over tummy (me lying on bed) .
He tries to walk on my tummy as I hold him secure.
Can it lead to his legs bending ? or is it safe play ?

He wants to push down with his feet?

It’s fine and, in the nicest possible way, is something you will look back on and think “lol I can’t believe I worried about that” WinkFlowers we all have one!

Absolutely fine. Hes just exploring what his legs can do. Enjoy the disco dancing!

Absolutely fine, though I get were your coming from.I would guess you've read about walkers/jumpers causing problems, and extrapolated your concerns from there. But that is when babies spend longer periods of time in them (15+ minutes, I think I read somewhere). Your arms will be tired from holding him, with a few minutes.
