Nine Months of Movement
Think of being in motion for nine months straight. After the ninth month, you are suddenly thrown into another setting where there is little to no movement. This would feel a bit unsettling right?
This is what a newborn may be experiencing after birth. Babies in utero have been on the move depending on their mothers activity. Even a less active mother’s baby is in motion due to living in a fluid environment.

A newborn will love the swinging sensation a baby swing provides and can help parents tend to other needs. Placing your baby in a baby swing provides a soothing environment and might also help a cranky baby settle. If there are older children in the home, a baby swing will help act as an extra hand while taking care of the other children.
