both my babies went in theirs from the day they were home!!!!

i mastered bouncing the thing with my toes, whilst eatin/drinking/doin summin else lol!!!

ur HV is a twat!

Ive got one for callum and i use it all the time, neither mw or hv have said anything when theyve been. I havent got a head support for mine but my oh "fashioned" one out of a blanket for now.

and did they sleep in there as well?

I am really scared to leave her in there for too long 'cos of what the HV said!

Ive not used mine much but it has a little pillow support thing that can be moved about. Wonder if you can buy em seperate. Defo would depend on baby - Caitlin is quite strong but when her head flops she wouldn't be comfy in that!

We've just found the mamas and paps star lite swing to be a blessing (after we had to get it replaced) she seems to like it and it rocks by its self - also goes pretty flat to for her to lie in, not always upright!
