DD gets fussy when she's really tired, because she fights sleep like a mad woman. We hadn't used her swing yet but yesterday I decided to give it a try and it worked like a charm!
Between that and her Moby wrap I can usually get her to stop fighting and fall asleep! Except at her 11 p.m. fussy time, when nothing quiets her down but time. Sigh.
Re: Thank God for her swing
We've been using our swing from day on and it's a lifesaver. LO doesn't fuss too much but also when he's super tired and the swing takes care of it. And when he fusses in the swing all I have to do it play the music and it almost always calms him down. He fusses most of the time at night and I'm even debaing of taking it up to our room.
