Moms, so I have a problem.. My little one is almost two months old and dependent on her swing to sleep.. its a swing where shes almost laying down so there isnt a risk of her head falling forward or anything.. Anyway, she either sleeps in her swing or next to me after shes done nursing at night.. she also naps in her swing during the day.. she refuses to take a pacifier and also hates to be swaddled because she loves her arms out and up by her face and is a very warm baby so she sweats easily! I know sleeping in swings is not good at all but its the only way she can sleep without instantly waking or being beside me which im not a fan of either.. Anyone have suggestions as I start back to work soon and she wont have her swing at the baby sitters and I would love to break this nasty habit and get her into her crib or bassinet! SOS!
addition: I dont believe in crying it out, so letting her cry herself to sleep isnt an option either :/
ill check it out! How long are they in those for?! does it move?! i cant figure out if its the postion of the swing shes all bundled in there and feels secure or the motion of it! @harranmommy
My son loved sleeping in a rock n play. I don't know what I would have done without it!
Good'Morning Ladies! Has anyones baby just being very fussy and you don't even know what it could be anymore sense i try everything already & this past days she is just very fussy!!😞😖😖😩 I use to just leave her in her swing she will be happy & fall to sleep now i use her Bouncy,Swing & Nothing she will be there for a bit then start crying she has been crying a lot lately and don't know what it could be anymore i try to give a warm bath & nothing either just don't know anymore💁😨😟
omg... I'm so depressed my child cries more than she doesnt..The only time she's not crying is when she's alsleep.. but she only sleeps 30 minutes each time. she won't sit in her carseat, her crib, pack n play , her swing, bouncer nothing!!! I have to hold ger 24/7 even when she's sleeping or else she will wake up. I'm tired I don't get any sleep nothing soothes her I don't even remember the last time I had enough time to bathe :'( I love her so much but this is so challenging

My sweet baby girl gained her angel wings this morning. She was my best friend, my true love my everything. She was so happy and beautiful, I'm struggling to say good bye. Sleep tight princess, mummy and daddy love you very very much ❤️
Opinions on crying it out?
My baby is 8 1/2 months old. I've tried the no tears method and it worked a couple times but now it doesn't anymore. I do squats while holding her and rock her (21 lbs baby) for over an hour each nap all for nothing. My friend said she did cry it out and by the 3rd day her baby would only cry 5 minutes and now he's totally fine with sleeping in the crib.
Opinions please? I am the only one who actually raises my kid. My fiancé does not help and I have no family that ...
@ash_505, my son slept in the rock n play because he had reflux. But it is kinda like the swing because of the way it keeps them feeling snug & secure. There are several options when you shop for one. The basic one is just the rock n play, you can make it "rock" with your foot or hand. The fancier ones plug into the wall and it rocks by its self. My son slept in it until he has about 6-7 months old.
