He even falls to sleep in it sometimes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-a-swing-for-you-lo#post-5861 Sun, 23 Oct 2011 20:39:04 +0000 babycrz 5861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had a swing and may have used it 6 times. He wasn't in love with it. Luckily it was a hammy-down so we didn't spend any money on it.</p> <p>It could have been that we had it in the foyer (because there was space there) and I usually wasn't in the same room as him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-a-swing-for-you-lo#post-5850 Sun, 23 Oct 2011 19:38:59 +0000 Killer b 5850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We would have died without a swing. Right now DD is chillin' in our small fold-up battery powered one, and she sleeps about half the night in a large corded one. She loves the movement. We started out with the smaller one, to make sure she liked it before we spent the big bucks on a large one. Luckily we got it on sale. But it's great having both, since I can fold up her little one and take it when we're traveling </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-a-swing-for-you-lo#post-5838 Sun, 23 Oct 2011 16:48:16 +0000 geekinheels 5838@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Before Claire was born we decided on a bouncy chair over a swing because it was cheaper, but regretted the decision because she never liked the bouncy chair. The swing was a godsend for us, especially during the months when she had colic and it was the only thing that would calm her down for more than 10 minutes at a time. And while she did get a bit dependent on it, we weaned her from it when we sleep-trained at 5 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-a-swing-for-you-lo#post-5777 Sat, 22 Oct 2011 21:28:21 +0000 yin 5777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started out with a bouncy chair, which he absolutely hated. I don't think he likes laying in that position, and the swing was no different. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-a-swing-for-you-lo#post-5769 Sat, 22 Oct 2011 21:17:02 +0000 swgal 5769@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We definitely used a swing for my daughter but only for short periods of times. She definitely would fall asleep for short naps in it but we never formally used it for naps or night time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-a-swing-for-you-lo#post-5765 Sat, 22 Oct 2011 19:39:13 +0000 ohapostrophe 5765@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are careful not to make a habit of it, but there have been a few tough nights when our baby slept in the swing... lifesaver! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-a-swing-for-you-lo#post-5763 Sat, 22 Oct 2011 19:29:43 +0000 Mrs. Bee 5763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>charlie slept in the swing a couple of times, but we were always pretty strict about him sleeping in the crib so it wouldn't become a habit. our swing had these rotating lights mobile that he loved so we used it a fair amount even if he didn't sleep in it.</p> <p>i sold it after he outgrew it because it was so big, for olive i just borrowed one from a friend. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-a-swing-for-you-lo#post-5748 Sat, 22 Oct 2011 17:05:32 +0000 Boogs 5748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our LO LOVES his swing, sometimes that's the only place he wants to be. As a baby he practically lived it in, it truly has always been his most favorite spot in the house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-a-swing-for-you-lo#post-5745 Sat, 22 Oct 2011 16:16:12 +0000 Coastinganon 5745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went so far as to borrow a swing for our son to make sure he liked it before buying one. Of course he loved it and then we bought it and immediately and forever after he hated the swing. Hopefully baby #2 will like it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-a-swing-for-you-lo#post-5739 Sat, 22 Oct 2011 15:36:43 +0000 Rubies 5739@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter is just starting to appreciate the swing but only when she's in a good mood...And only for 10 minutes, max. She's still young, though (almost 12 weeks), so maybe it'll grow on her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-a-swing-for-you-lo#post-5736 Sat, 22 Oct 2011 14:49:29 +0000 Laneybugsmommy 5736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had a swing but only put her in it like twice. My daughter was the type of child that much preferred, being on the floor, either flat or laying propped up on her boppy pillow, than being in a bouncy chair or swing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-a-swing-for-you-lo#post-5735 Sat, 22 Oct 2011 14:29:31 +0000 BSB 5735@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I know some mommies use them and some don't.</p> <p>Did you use one for your LO? </p>
