Is a baby swing something a parent really needs for their baby ? Just wondering if I can honestly skip on buying that?

I didn't use a baby swing, my son likes bouncing over swinging

You dont need one but i have used mine everytime. Helps to get a shower and eat

They leave it by 6-7 months but it does come in handy when your home alone and need to shower , cook , clean etc. Personally my baby did use it alot

I didn’t get on until I swung my son in my arms gently when he was 2 months old and crying and he stopped when I did that when I stopped he cried again so we got a swing and he used it every day multiple times a day until he was 5 and a half months old and was starting to break it. He napped in it every day. It was my life savor

I JUST put my daughter's swing out in my yard near the road! I keep peaking out at it and feel so sad seeing it out there, in the dark 😟
