She will only nap in the swing. I will be very sad when we have to retire it......unless she will nap in her crib.

I think. He was such a busy little guy that he didn't like being in it for any length of time after he could crawl! ETA: We also didn't use it for sleep after 4 months, so that took one more use out of it. gilmoregirl on "How old was your LO when you retired the swing?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-was-your-lo-when-you-retired-the-swing#post-1852992 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 09:41:11 +0000 gilmoregirl 1852992@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @LovelyPlum: Ben did get all the way over. I caught him on the monitor with his face shoved into the side and his legs hanging half out. It was pretty scary and I'm glad it was a nap and not overnight so I was keeping a close watch. We quit the swing cold turkey after that. (He wasn't strapped in, which I know you're supposed to do.) autumnlove on "How old was your LO when you retired the swing?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-was-your-lo-when-you-retired-the-swing#post-1852835 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 08:15:32 +0000 autumnlove 1852835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ 5 months for LO 1.

But the people we borrowed ours from moved, so we had to give it back to them when she was about 7 months. We hadn't used it in weeks by then though.
