Length of time in swing

in Babies: 0 - 3 Months

We put LO in his swing around 7:30 tonight b/c he wouldn't stay asleep in his bassinet and needed to be free to make dinner.  It's now 9:00 pm and he's still asleep.  Is it ok to leave him in the swing until he wakes up?  Or should I wake him up/move him?  I'm not sure if it's safe/good parenting/etc. to leave him in a swing.  Are there suggested timeframes for this?

TIA!

    Make sure he is strapped in and enjoy the peace and quiet while it lasts! ;)

    At 2 weeks, I was taking sleep any way I could get it.  If it meant the swing I was curled up on the couch sleeping until she woke.  One night we even brought it into our room because it was working wonders.  I don't think there is a time frame I believe it is based on your personal feelings and opinions.  My LO did floortime and time with my DH and I that I didn't feel bad for putting her in the swing for some time.

    My LO has been fighting sleep and screaming for two hours. She is now asleep in the swing and will stay there. :)
