Hi,

I am a first time mom staying in US. No body is coming from India for me to help with the baby. I would like to know can I put a new born baby in swing? How much useful it is? Can I put my sleeping baby in swing while I am working in the kitchen near me because I will be alome in the day time? Is there inything else like swing where I can put my baby into sleep in day time and it can be carried from room to room? Please answer me.

Thanking you all,
Mom to be ck replied. Did you check baby carriers? Ask your pediatrician if it is safe for newborns. It is easier to use if u want mobility. Check it out. rk replied. If you are interested you can buy it online from babyage.

Before deciding on it chcek it out in stores like burlington etc for this particular model.

rk. jyothi replied. Hi,
Got a suggestion for you but not many of us Indians would like this idea.mainly coz i'm talking about trying a childrens consignment store to get things like a bassinet or bouncer second hand and for a lot less.And often you find these places carry excellent quality stuff.So thats an option for a cheaper bassinet.Make sure u wash everything from these places in hot water and rinse a few extra times as well.The bassinet itself u could clean with a damp rag and maybe some disinfecting wipes like lysol.But if u do so air it out well in advance so when its time for ur baby to use it ,its clean but not smelling of any chemicals.
Hope this suggestions helps. santhi replied. hi mom to be,
this is santhi from oct board,my case is also same as urs.we r using bouncer.but dont try to put ur little one in that for long periods.take care
santhi mom to be replied. Hi rk and Meena,

Thank you very much for your reply. Bassinets are little bit expensive. Let me check the pack and play sytems.

Take care,
mom to be rk replied. You can also use Pack n play system from Graco etc. It has a built in bassinet on top, playpen on the bottom(to be used later) and comes with changing station, mobile, musical system etc. It can be put close to the kitchen. Pack n play bassinet is usually used till baby is 15 lbs.

rk. meena replied. you can use basinet also
it is very safe and easy
