How long to keep newborn in swing?

How long is it okay to keep a newborn in her swing at one time? 15 minutes? 1 hr? All day?

    as long as she seems happy. Marley lived in hers for her first week.

    Your sig is ridiculously long.

    DD hates her swing, so she's never been in it longer than 10 minutes.  But I know a lot of babies sleep in their swings overnight.

    I think the important thing is that the total amount of time in carriers (carseat, swing, bouncy seat, etc.) should be limitied.  Babies need time to lie on the floor and learn to use their limbs.  But, for a newborn, the amount of time needed on the floor is probably pretty small.  They just want to be warm and cozy so they can sleep while imagining they're still in the womb!

    If the baby's sleeping and happy, I say leave her be!
