Napping in his swing

1st_baby · Nov 6th, 2008, 11:46 AM

OK so I think ive done a booboo ..ever since max was likle he would sleep in his swing for naps ..I think it helps him with his nose problems ..anywhoo hes now almost 6 months and still likes to nap in there from 10-1pm !!!

Problem is it must swing lol expensive on batteries but dont bother me , secondly once hes 20lbs he cant go in there anymore as its the max weight
?

should i try to make him sleep in his crib or park ? how should i do it ..

Im lucky enough t have the ocean wonders aquarium which makes the same sounds as his swing but still im confused how to change this bad habbit

Maybe over the next weeks or so, slow the swing of the swing. If it is like the one i have it has swing levels 1-6, so you can kinda wean him off it.

Alexa used to sleep in her swing for daytime naps, but unfortunatly she grew out of it at 3.5 months

if she was still small enough I would likely still have her sleep in there. Alexa didn't have too tough of a transition to napping in bed from the swing... I think of it as the same thing if we went for a car ride or a walk in her stroller, she will have her nap... I suppose every baby is different though...

I'm not a person to ask about naptimes

despite trying last weekend to get Hannah to sleep on away from us during the day she still naps in my arms

I dont think its a bad idea but tis the fact that he will have to stop going in there once hes 20 lbs ..from the look of things hes got a while to go lol hes skinny lil bugger but eats like a pig just like dad ..

I will try to wean him off though
