Baby swing

If you want a swing that will last a long time get one you can attach to a doorway or your ceiling. No joke my 2 year old uses her every day. As a baby you can just put her in a big pillow so she's comfortable. My toddler now when she refuses to nap in her bed will nap in her swing. Or decompress at little. I would be lost without it. Bit we have also used it since she was little. My mom always says that baby's love to be rocked. So a swing is a great alternative to you carrying her all day

I use mine when he’s being very fussy and nothing is calming him down. I have a 19 month old toddler too so it’s hard managing both at times while I’m on mat leave. I just hear you’re not supposed to let them sleep in it and you have to be careful bc of their neck positioning

Or if I need to do dishes or clean the house and he’s fussing in the bassinet. Like today he was extremely fussy almost all day and I broke it up into bits put him in it few mins

try to aim for 15-30 min sessions max and try to not create the habit of baby falling asleep for all their naps on there (since it’s not good for their backs)! honestly they’re really good for when you need to place baby down so you can make breakfast or something. It should have on the manual or box the weight limit for your swing but I’d look at the model online for any additional info.

Don’t feel guilty, a lot of moms including myself have used them and there’s no shame in using a baby swing as long as you do it safely.
