The swing should not be used all the time. I use it when I am trying to spend time with my older daughter or nothing else works. I try and have her sleep in different spots. Like her bed... the swing... car seat.... a pillow on the coach that is propped so she can not shift her weight and fall.... as well as with me.

With my first daughter she slept with us until 4 months.. then moved to her bed... It was an easy move but I feel it was because we have moved at the same time to a new place so it was not her normal surroundings. Does this make sense?

I swore I would not have the new baby sleep with us but you know what?? She is... I think some of it has to do with her being a preemie. But She starts off being in her bed at night and with us by around 4 or 5 in the morning. At first she was with us all night but I am slowly breaking that habit.

Anyways good luck to you and sorry for rambling.
