Our newborn loves to sleep on my or my husband's lap (usually on the feeding pillow after a nice big feed) which we both enjoy a lot but which isn't always practical given the fact that we have a 2 year old running around and my husband's paternity leave will be over tomorrow. The baby often wakes up after we transfer her to her moses basket in spite of the fact that we put it on a slight incline, made it nice and soft and warm inside etc.


I'm now thinking about getting a swing for naptime (she's ok at night) but before I buy yet another product that we need to retire to the loft within a week I'd like to hear your experiences of using a swing.


Thanks in advance!

A swing saved my sanity. My newborn would not nap at all without constant motion - she would fall asleep in a pram whilst being pushed but the moment you stopped she would wake up. She could not be put down during the day at all without screaming. With 3 others to look after it was a nightmare. The day I bought the swing (she was 8 weeks old) I wept tears of relief.


That said I passed the swing onto a friend who didn't use it at all because her lo wouldn't sleep in it.

We used one for our daughter when she was tiny and it was a lifesaver - allowed us to eat etc and kept her happy or got her off to sleep. She didn't like it so much once she was a few months old though. Unfortunately I don't have it any more as a friend lent it to us while we were living in Italy, otherwise I would offer to lend it to you!

    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
    • Oh dear, hope you are OK, I've had it three times and it was worse each time, but not a patch on many of those who got it before they vac' role out. Not commenting on the discussion as I got confused many days ago beyond the reminder that Corbyn would not compromise and the harm that could lead to him, the party and regards Brexit pre and post referendum the country.  Starmer goes too far the other way at times.  
    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.
