Read on to learn more about this giveaway and common questions about using swings for infants.
Baby rockers and swings are loved by parents because they offer a convenient, cozy space for babies to feel calm and entertained. They can gently mimic the natural movements that soothe infants, allowing parents a few moments of hands-free time. Many swings offer features like sounds, vibrations, and mobile toys to keep babies happily engaged.
Most models, including popular swings available in Canada, are designed for babies from birth, making them an excellent addition to a newborn’s routine. Swings are generally safe until a baby reaches the manufacturer’s weight limit (often around 6-9 months) or can sit up independently.
Using a swing for brief, supervised periods can be safe and beneficial, especially for soothing and calming. Swings are not a substitute for active play, though; floor play and tummy time are essential for developing motor skills, strengthening the neck, and building core muscles. Used in moderation, a swing can be a helpful addition to a baby’s daily routine.
Many parents find that the gentle motion of a swing can relieve gas by keeping the baby upright, helping with digestion and burping. Some babies experience extra comfort with the rhythmic motion, which can promote burping or ease passing gas. To aid digestion, parents can combine swing time with tummy massages or gentle leg exercises.
