Is it safe for LO to sleep in Swing at night?

Lately LO has been preferring to sleep in his swing and I don't mind if he does this during the day for naps, but I am wondering if it is safe for him to sleep there all night.

    I wouldn't ...naps are one thing but all night....I don't think so.

    As long as DS is latched in, I let him sleep in the swing if he prefers it some nights.

    We let our DD sleep in it for the first two months.  She just did not like to sleep flat on her back.  We finally just transitioned her to the Pack & Play without a problem.

    My DS has been sleeping in the swing everynight since he was about 2 wks old, it's either that or nobody sleeps.

    Pedi actually told us to (we used the car seat, but same idea)

    If he's sleeping 2-4 hrs at a time before feeds then sure. If he's going longer then no. DD sleeps in her crib butr sometimes when she wakes at 4 or so and has a hard time falling asleep, we'll put her in the swing since we wake at 6 anyway. Have you tried swaddling him before bed? If so, have you tried putting him to sleep in the swing and then moving him to his bed?

    DD sleeps in there every night, she loves it. We just make sure she's fastened in. The rocking puts her back to sleep though when she wakes during the night...it's great!

    Ours slept in the swing and car seat for the first month.  Our pedi had no problem with it.

    he does usually go longer than 4 hours.  I am afraid I would wake him if i put him in his crib.  He just sleeps so well in that swing.
