When to Stop Using a Baby Swing?

Sep. 27, 2020

Automatic Infant Swing supplier shares this news with you.

For parents who are sleep deprived, the Automatic Infant Swing seems to be a treatment, and their babies will not fall asleep in any other way. They can shake and comfort the baby to stop crying and help them fall asleep. However, the swing is not a long-term method. Not only should babies stay on the swing for a short period of time, but once they exceed the weight limit or start trying to climb out of the swing, they should stop using the swing permanently.

When the baby falls asleep

The American Academy of Pediatrics warns parents not to use the swing as a sleeper for babies. Although you can safely use the swing to put your baby to sleep, once he is asleep, you should remove it from the swing. If your baby sleeps on a swing, he may sag or sag, which may increase the risk of sudden infant death syndrome. AAP also recommends that you never let your baby rock unattended.

30 minutes passed

Even if your baby does not fall asleep on the swing, he should not be left on the swing for a long time. Consumer Reports recommends not allowing babies to stay on the swing for more than 30 minutes at a time. Long swings can cause your baby to feel dizzy. Even if your baby is not swinging, both AAP and Consumer Reports pointed out that prolonged swinging time in a prone position will increase your baby's chance of flat spots on the head.

When your baby exceeds the weight limit

Each baby swing has its own weight limit, but the typical weight limit for most swings is 25 pounds. According to the CDC, by 16 months, 50% of boys will weigh 25 pounds, and by 20 months, 50% of girls will weigh that weight. When the baby is too heavy to swing, stop using it at any time.

When the baby can crawl out

Even if your baby has not exceeded the weight limit of the swing, his mobility may be enough to start trying to get out of the swing. In this case, you should stop using the swing immediately. Children as young as 12 months may start trying to climb, which may cause falls and head injuries. Even if you use a seat belt to tie your baby on the swing, you should do this every time you put your baby on the swing. If the baby tries to climb out, he may get tangled and tied to the swing, causing injury. According to the "Consumer Report", in 2005, 1,800 children under the age of 5 were injured by the swing, and one baby died of the swing each year.
