Babies who sleep in the swing at night?

Are you actually leaving the swing going all night long? I did this with Taylor a few times and yes, she did sleep longer but her hands were so cold.

When DD was a NB, that thing was always on. She slept better if it was on and I would just cover her with a knitted blanket.

DS only sleeps in his swing. I turn it on if he's drowsy but not asleep yet. If he's in a deep sleep, its not neccessary. I always shut it off before I go to bed for the night.

DD2 slept in her swing till she was almost 3 months old because of reflux but we never turned it on. I would put her in a sleeper and put a blanket over her and then tuck it around and under her with her arms at her sides so that she wouldnt be cold.

DS slept in his swing for a good 2 months and yes we left it on the entire night.

He STTN in that thing so it worked for everyone.

DS slept in the swing until he was 8 months old He slept a lot better when it was rocking but as time went on I tried to wean him of the motion. Thankfully we got him in the crib at 8 months and haven't looked back yet.
