Would you nap while your kid...

[lg28]

Would you nap while your kid (5 weeks) is sleeping in the swing?
Normally, I only sleep while she is in her bassinet, safely on her back. I'm paranoid about SIDS.

But my kid is sleeping quite peacefully in the swing and i hate to move her. Would you take a nap while your kid is in the swing?

[anna7602]

Yes, but in the same room. 

[biogirl21]

My baby slept in the swing for 3 months so absolutely. I did make sure that the swing incline was as flat as possible.

[ssmjlm]

I did. It was the only way she would nap/sleep in the beginning. I just made sure no blankets were up at her face.

[cjeanette]

Yes. I had to sometimes.

[Yankees21]

Yes, I would and did.

[deo]

For sure. If she is buckled in and I could hear her if she woke up, then yep no problem.

[countthestars]

Hell yeah!

[spk926]

Yes, I did it all the time. DD would also only sleep in her swing at night from about 3-6 months so obviously I had no problems with it.

[dcn]

Yes, in the same room.

[kangaroo11]

Buckled in, no blankets, flat incline--- yep! I did this and slept on the couch. Go nap!!

[zeewifeandmama]

Yes!

[ECB]

Absolutely.

[jeaniebueller]

[MamaMaui24]

Absolutely.

This, but for 4.5 months

[MadamePresident]

Yes. I need my husband to bring the swing up from the basement.

[anna7602]

What is all this blanket talk? People, it's JULY. I would walk around naked right now if it were socially acceptable.

[galaxy8227]

Yup I did a lot with DS, not so much with DD since she didn't sleep there long

Its like 14 degrees C here today. Silly Canada.

Ok, we don't have a flat incline so its comparable to her being in the infant swing. I will try and remove the blankets and then nap.

Thanks everyone. You'd think by baby # 2 i would chill out. NOPE.

[formerlyllizzyb]

Heck yes.

[simpsongal]

Yup - I also did hours of yardwork outside while he slept in his swing. Problem?

[grosnl19]

Yes.

[statlerwaldorf]

Yes. I tried to get DS (2 weeks) to nap in his swing today so I could get a nap, but he wouldn't sleep.

[tigress]

I definitely would. I would nap probably on the couch next to the swing, but at 5 weeks that baby ain't going anywhere

[Deleted]

Yup, I dont know if I'd go to a different room but our swing was next to our couch.

Can your baby kick?

When my DS was teeny we would put an A&A blanket on his legs every night in his RNP. Mother of the year right here! I stopped doing this when he was able to kick hard enough to move them up by his face. And even now, I've admittedly left a blanket wrapped around his legs once or twice when I put him down at the end of the night because it was going to be too hard to take it off and put a sleep sack on. That's probably flameful.

[whitepicketfence]

Absolutely.

[littlemisschatty]

absolutely!!!!

[Deleted]

Yes, if I was in the same room.
