Montessori Pull Up Bar
The bar should be 6 in length but can vary depending on space available in your baby s play area.
Montessori pull up bar. Here s what you need to know. A wall mounted pull up bar is a fantastic material for a newly mobile child. A pull up bar gives babies a safe place to practice their new standing up skill. Plus it s hung at just the right height for success.
At the bar there s no fear that a heavy piece of furniture will topple over. Baby c went from crawling to cruising so fast. The pull up bar is a safe place for the infant to practice pulling up and cruising. Infants gain such satisfaction from pulling up and seeing their reflection.
It s hard to keep up with this little bean. When your baby reaches for that bar and naturally pulls himself or herself to a standing position their muscles are developed enough in all the right places to support this action. We installed a pull up bar but i have also heard of children holding onto the bathtub or a low shelf or table for stand up diaper changes. Usually this begins from 6 10 months old.
For maximum fun install the pull up bar in front of a child height unbreakable mirror. A bar attached to the wall of the child s room or a garden wall in warm weather helps the child to be able to pull up at will whenever it is the best time for her to practice and to remain standing until she is ready to sit back down. Using this montessori pull up bar in your baby s nursery or play space is an amazing way to support their natural progression of physical development and here s why. See it on etsy.
The child holds on to something and you change the diaper while the child stands. The mirror adds some interest and helps her explore herself and the environment around her. The sofa is a great height but it s just very slippery for little hands. Use banister brackets that will hold the bar about 2 from the wall.
Around the time that infants begin to attempt pulling up this montessori tool can be used. Once baby can stand many montessori classrooms and homes switch to stand up diapering. Mount the bar about 18 from the floor.
