Parenting after a Loss

Bouncy seats, swings, etc

When did you LO start liking these? So far whenever we put our little guy in one, he cries- so he's ether being held or lying flat on his back in the newborn napper on our coffee table. 

ETA: for those on mobile, he's 5w4d (1w4d adjusted).

    E loved the swing from day 1, but never took to the bouncy seat. She prefers to be on her back though. I think it's part of her comfort zone, since she's been sleeping flat since birth.

  • DD has loved both since Day 1, especially the bouncer.  She does have times that she does not want to be put down no matter what though.

  • My baby has never been super into his swing, even now he'll hang in there just for a bit. He liked his bouncy seat right away but preferred to be held especially in the beginning. I would say he started to gain more independence around two months.

  • Bouncy seat - never

    Swing - after about 2m.  I put him in there swaddled and it made the world of difference.  He napped in there for months.

  • Swing works well for my kids...papas an cradle swing.

    Bouncer is a hit or miss depending on DD's mood. We have two. One is a very old hand me down that sometimes works and the other is a gently used one from Sassy with ladybug motif. <br

  • The swing was the first place we put him when we brought him home.  At 7 months we still use it for naps all the time.  I didn't use the bouncy as much becuase the swing was in our living room.  I do still use the bouncy from time to tim

  • We never had a swing, and only used her bouncy seat when we were eating or in the shower (and we never actually remembered to put batteries in it, so it never vibrated or anything). We held her or I wore her, or most of the time we would let her just lay

  • DS enjoyed the swing pretty much from the day we brought him home, but never liked his bouncer.. Maybe 5 or 10 minutes tops, but with intermixed fussing, where as the swing he was quiet the whole time...

  • DD was never a fan of the swing but slept in the bouncy chair for the first couple of months. She didn't like being in it during the day but did not like sleeping flat on her back those few months.
