Keep the swing?

Question

My baby is a month old, and we’ve barely used her swing. She sleeps in her crib for the most part, and doesn’t seem to enjoy the swing. If she’s awake and we put her in it just to get few things done, she cries. Lol. Our house is small, and it takes up a lot of space. I’m thinking of getting rid of it, but worry that I might regret it later. (If she goes through a really fussy phase and would enjoy it or something Idk.) I can’t ever see us using it for her to sleep in instead of the crib-we “try” and stay committed to the crib for sleep so she’ll feel safe there. BUT if there’s one thing I learned by being a mom, is that you NEVER say what you “won’t do” 😂 Anywho-any of you do this newborn/baby thing with no swing? How did it go?

Answer

Personally I would keep it another month or so and see how things go, if she still doesn't like it then I would resell. Things could change so much in a month and you may regret not having it more than you regret not having that bit of extra space.

Answer

With my 2nd i never used the swing until he was 3.5-4 months old, he didn't care for it before then, but he sure loved it later on

Answer

My son barely used his as well. We are keeping it in a garbage bag in our attic in case the next baby likes it better.

Answer

Both my kids loved the swing. But we didn’t use it as an alternate place for them to sleep it was more just for getting things done. Maybe get rid of the big one & if you’re worried you’ll regret it look into a little travel sized one. That’s what we have with our second. Takes up the amount of space as a bouncy chair.

Answer

2/3 months my baby loved it, but not until then. Maybe hold onto it for just a few more months. It could save you during witching hour coming up!

Answer

keep trying. my first didnt like it but my second daughter does. check the weight limit but its more fun when they can move their head and look at swinging/hang ing toys. reach for them

Answer

My daughter didn’t like her swing for the first 2 months. She didn’t like anything that wasn’t my arms, really. But at around 3 months I started letting her nap in her swing swaddled (obviously that’s not recommended, but I watched her the entire time), and it was a sanity saver. She napped that was for a couple months before she started napping in her crib. We live in a small place too. I wouldn’t give up on it quite yet. And if you plan on having another you could save it for next baby.

Answer

Keep it until baby outgrows it. Or pack it up and store it.

Answer

One month is pretty young, she may like it later, they go through lots of phases

Answer

My daughter hated the swing until she was 2 months old. Now she’ll hang out in it while I do laundry, cook and sometimes through dinner if she falls asleep
