And by addicted I mean wouldn't even sleep in our arms much but napped all the time in there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-swingage-out#post-2614354 Wed, 31 Aug 2016 20:17:04 +0000 sapphire 2614354@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO stopped using it between 5-6 months. Only used it for naps at that point. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-swingage-out#post-2614326 Wed, 31 Aug 2016 19:36:27 +0000 wrkbrk 2614326@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@meadow: six months is what mine said on it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-swingage-out#post-2614293 Wed, 31 Aug 2016 18:42:38 +0000 Purpledaisy 2614293@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD used her swing until about 5 months. She was addicted to it and used it for all naps then all of a sudden hated it and wanted in her crib. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-swingage-out#post-2614286 Wed, 31 Aug 2016 18:25:25 +0000 Mrsbells 2614286@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@meadow: You might want to wait and see if your baby even likes the swing. we received that same swing as a gift I thought it was the cutest best swing in the world but our daughter just wasnt a big fan of it. so overall we didnt use it much. I'm hoping baby # 2 likes it more.<br /> Also with ours even on the lowest setting the swing was a bit fast so we read a tip online about having a blanket dragging the floor from the swing to slow it down a bit </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-swingage-out#post-2614239 Wed, 31 Aug 2016 16:08:50 +0000 catomd00 2614239@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD1 used it for maybe 6 months, DD2 is 3 months and i haven't even pulled it out of storage. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-swingage-out#post-2614206 Wed, 31 Aug 2016 15:17:21 +0000 Mrs. Goose 2614206@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Got rid of it about 6 months or so after watching her sit up in it and try and escape. It freaked me out and I wasn't using it much after 3 months anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-swingage-out#post-2614173 Wed, 31 Aug 2016 14:30:01 +0000 meadow 2614173@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks all!!! Yeah we don't use it daily so it's not like they are addicted. @snowjewelz: true! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-swingage-out#post-2614135 Wed, 31 Aug 2016 13:49:22 +0000 birdofafeather 2614135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used a borrowed swing for DD2 until 6 months.</p> <p>ETA: never had one for Dd1! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-swingage-out#post-2614127 Wed, 31 Aug 2016 13:44:01 +0000 2PeasinaPod 2614127@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>See if your kiddos like it first, then go to a consignment shop after that and pick one up if one or both of them like it a ton. Neither of my sons liked the swing, so it was a bit of a wasted purchase for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-swingage-out#post-2614116 Wed, 31 Aug 2016 13:32:37 +0000 Truth Bombs 2614116@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My baby just turned 9 months old and I just sold his swing after it had been sitting in the corner unused for months </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-swingage-out#post-2614112 Wed, 31 Aug 2016 13:25:24 +0000 kayla0416 2614112@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We only used ours about 3 months, but it was an absolute live-safer until then and worth every penny! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-swingage-out#post-2614104 Wed, 31 Aug 2016 13:22:54 +0000 Cole 2614104@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The vast majority of kids have moved on by then so I vote you don't worry about buying one unless you get close to her due date and find you're still using it. By that age my daughter was too strong and could get herself in some weird positions even while belted in so it just wasn't safe anymore. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-swingage-out#post-2614103 Wed, 31 Aug 2016 13:22:29 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2614103@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My three were obsessed with the swing until five months.<br /> I have a 7.5 month old and the swings have been packed up for a while. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-swingage-out#post-2614100 Wed, 31 Aug 2016 13:21:08 +0000 catlady 2614100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine was addicted to the swing, but she was done by around 5 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-swingage-out#post-2614086 Wed, 31 Aug 2016 13:07:57 +0000 Boogs 2614086@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used ours longer than 8 months! LO1 especially loved it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-swingage-out#post-2614075 Wed, 31 Aug 2016 12:58:42 +0000 snowjewelz 2614075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm pretty sure you'd be done with it. We didn't really use a swing, but I wouldn't be comfortable with a mobile baby by then to be contained in something like that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-swingage-out#post-2614071 Wed, 31 Aug 2016 12:55:30 +0000 littlebug 2614071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We stopped using it with both kids around 5 months. I think by 8 months you'll probably be using some other kind of baby container! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-swingage-out#post-2614068 Wed, 31 Aug 2016 12:54:38 +0000 LindsayLou 2614068@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would say that they'll most likely be done with the swing by then. I don't think most babies spend a ton of time in the swing after around 6 months, but there are always exceptions. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-swingage-out#post-2614067 Wed, 31 Aug 2016 12:54:33 +0000 avivoca 2614067@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter used her swing until she was a year. She was also a crappy napper and that was the only way I could guarantee she would sleep for most of the first year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-swingage-out#post-2614063 Wed, 31 Aug 2016 12:51:30 +0000 meadow 2614063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A friend lent me a swing like : <a href="http://www.fisher-price.com/en_US/brands/babygear/products/My-Little-Snugapuppy-Cradle-n-Swing" rel="nofollow">http://www.fisher-price.com/en_US/brands/babygear/products/My-Little-Snugapuppy-Cradle-n-Swing</a></p> <p>She is due when my babies will be 8 months. At that point they will be too old for something like that right? I'm going to a consignment sale next weekend and not sure if I should look to pick one up or know we'd be done by 8 months anyway. </p>
