Baby sitting devices (bouncers, swings, supported chairs, etc.) are often practical for parents, but there are important warnings from a developmental standpoint. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) emphasizes that babies should not sleep in these devices because inadequate airway support and an uneven surface increase the risk of Sudden Infant Death.
Sitting devices should only be used when your baby is awake, supervised, and for short periods. Your baby's sitting skills develop naturally — through tummy time, crawling, and self-supported sitting. No matter how comfortable a device is, it can't replace the natural development of your baby's back and neck muscles.
In short: brief, supervised use is fine; avoiding long-term or sleep use is the healthiest approach. Trusting your baby's natural development pace is always best.
