You have been carrying your baby for hours already
. You still need to cook dinner for the other children. You know you cannot just leave it in its crib because you know it will just cry so loud you will not be able to doing anything at all. What do you do? You get yourself and your baby a baby swing. Baby swings are so common these days you will not have a hard time buying one.
A baby swing is a swing designed to rock the baby for you while you rest or do other household chores. It is designed to rock the baby back and forth to put it to sleep.
There are different kinds of baby swings. If you have a big budget, you can get a baby swing that is battery operated. You can make it rock your baby just by pressing a button. However, aside from being expensive, you need to spend extra on batteries. If you are on a tight budget you can go for the baby swing that is manually operated. To make it swing your baby to sleep, you need to wind it up. It is a bit of a hassle to wind it up often so if your purpose for putting your baby on a swing is to rest, this may not be the one for you.
There are also infant swings that have speed controls. Naturally, these are not the wind-up swings. The nice thing about having speed control is you can decide how fast or how slow you want the swing to move to make your baby comfortable.
You can also find swings that have timers. You can set the amount of time the swing will rock your child. The good thing about this is that even if you fall asleep you will not worry that your baby will be swinging longer than what is necessary and appropriate.
It used to be such that swings only rock to and fro. Now there are models that sway from side to side. This gives variety to your baby's swinging.
Baby swings are great to have in every mom's house to give her time to rest or do other chores as the baby sleeps.
