UrbanBaby - Second dd is showing signs of fussiness/...

new post » see more posts »

Second dd is showing signs of fussiness/colickyness at 12 days, much like her big sister. I forget, however, at what age it is appropriate and effective to use the swing. I tried this morning, but dd just continued to cry, so I figure I need a little more time. Does anyone remember? Bouncy seat doesn't work but the Ergo does, so I am constantly wearing this little one and would love a break. Thanks in advance for your help!

  - (OP) Oh I have no moral problem with the swing but not sure at what age it might be more effective? Does dd need to be older than 12 days? For our first, we just didn't happen to have a swing until dd was closer to 5 weeks and it was like sweet, sweet magic. Hoping this child doesn't refuse the swing because it was a godsend for the first!

- I had the papasan swing which was the greatest swing ever designed (with twirling butteries and lights plus the side to side or front to back swing option) and it was the only way to get anything done with dd and the only thing she would nap in (with colic) as well.

  - Me too! I had the same swing and colicky dd would only sleep in that. I'm pretty sure I had her in there by the time she was 1 mo old or so. Trick that worked for me to get crying to stop -- run the vaccumm cleaner -- seriously.
