Swing nappers come in

in Babies: 0 - 3 Months

Do you find that there is a point where you can turn the swinging motion off and baby will not wake up?

A couple times she fell asleep in there with me just gently rocking it, then I stopped, and she stayed asleep. Took much longer than just turning the swing on though.

I am just looking down the road at the need to transition from swing to crib... motion vs no motion. 

Note- she sleeps like a rockstar at night in her bassinet.  This swing situation has just become the easiest thing to do with a 2 year old running arounnd as well.

    Your babe is only 3wks old & you have a 2yr old- just do what works for now!  I think my youngest- who was also a good night sleeper- took naps in her swing until she was over 6mos old.  I don't remember it being a difficult transition.  It's a great sign that she's sleeping great in her bassinet, so just go with what is working during the daytime for now- along with periodically trying to put her down for the naps.  She may just surprise you one day & it works in the bassinet!

    Yes, I usually turn it off after awhile to save battery life, but if I'm turning off and she starts to wiggle I leave it on longer and try again in a few minutes. I also just let it slowly stop rocking by itself.

    our LO takes all her day time naps in her swing.  and sleeps in her Rock n Play at night with no problem.   we were worried about the crib transition as well, but she made the transition to night in the no motion rock n play with no problem.

    when the swing stops, sometimes her blanket hits the ground causing it, or if we stop it when the nap has been quite long, as we know she should eat...or we will have a hungry grouch at night Stick out tongue....she usually starts squirming and definitely isn't in as deep of a sleep
