[blparent] the meaning of no

[Jennifer Jackson]

I am not sure it is the best idea to associate places you want her to be
content and serine in with punishment. I think it will complicate bed time
later if you teach her to associate her bed as someplace she goes for
punishment.

That is not to say that she is to young for you to teach her to leave some
things alone.

One thing that worked for me was to put the baby in his high chair while I
was cooking. I had to spend a lot of time picking up dropped toys, but the
boys all seemed to like being in the same space and being able to watch
everything. Baby back packs are great for times like this too. It will not
hurt her to only have floor time when you are able to directly supervise.
She is more likely to be content in a crib or bouncy chair if you are in the
same room. Just think of moving the baby as part of relocating from one room
to the other. I did a lot more of this kind of thing with my third child
because his much older brother had toys that were not baby friendly.

Good luck with your move. 7 months is an adorable age, but it does take a
little adjusting to get used to a mobile baby. :)

I disagree I see nothing wrong with putting the child in the crib or bouncer

after she has been told no several times you have to start as early as you 
can no she may not fully understand but by the time she does the behavior 
will have stopped because of the conditioning.  Other countries start 
punishing children early and they have very well behaved children at least 
in my experiences.  Just so you know you will hear all kind of things on 
this list some will think it is wrong others will be like me and be ok with 
it, but when it is all said and done at the end of the day you need to do 
what you feel will work for you as a parent.  The fact that you and her 
father are in agreement will help as well because they learn early how to 
get what they want from each parent.
