Head falling forward on swing

DS's head falls forward everytime he's on the swing. (He's 10 lb on the Fisher-price Little lamb) I tried scooting him as far down as possible so he's on less of an incline but it made no difference. Does the same thing happen to you? Have you been able to fix it?

    Same with my LO and first time I saw it I freaked out. He was slumped over! But now I just keep an eye on him -- he doesn't seem to mind being bent in half. Also, I feel that the swing speed even on low is too fast!

    The swing adjusts. You can lay in back more so that his head doesn't fall forward. DD is a little over a month and we just sat it back in a more upright position since she has a little more control over her head.

    Same issue here, our LO is only 6lbs so she swims in her swing. I fixed the problem by using a blanket, I put it over her, under her arms and then tuck the ends underneath her to boast her up/hold her head steady.

    I also use a blanket to help support her head!

    to slow down the speed of the swing. have a blanket hang over.  So, just throw the blanket over the babies legs with the two sides hanging over. I thought it was too fast as well when we first started and this seemed to resolve that problem.
