Cradle Swing Update with Pictures

Thank you everyone for the suggestions and pictures of cradle swings!

I tried to find a used one on Craig's List/Ebay, but alas, all the other sleepless moms had already beat me to it LOL.  Me, 3 kids and a screaming ride to Toys-R-Us later, I purchased the Fisher Price Little Lamb swing.  I sat him in the display model and manually pushed it.  He stopped crying.  I tried to figure out a way to carry the display model to the car while it kept swinging, but no such luck.  It's definitely much better than the old front-to-back swing we have in our attic.

So while we're still in the prime of colic and reflux, Everett and I have enjoyed a small break these past few days and I am soooo thankful to Fisher Price, Duracel and Erika (for the original suggestion):

After sitting quietly for a few minutes, Everett slept for 20 minutes in his new swing last night and I enjoyed eating a hot dinner! 


Everett slept another 20 minutes in it today so I could shower (which EVERYONE appreciates).
  

he is so precious.  I am happy you found a swing he loves

He's so adorable, Jo!  I'm glad you are getting a little break... hopefully that 20 minutes will extend a bit!

He looks darling!!! That is the swing I want to get! So it's worth the money? Glad you are getting some quiet time!!

Even though this is our last child, it is definitely worth the money IMHO.

I probably missed an update, but how are you feeling?

Hugs,

I'm feeling good! I have a ultra sound tomorrow! I'm so nervous! Were looking for a heartbeat!

Very cool!  I will have to check those out, that would be wonderful to take a nice warm shower without a baby screaming!  It is amazing how you forget those little things that used to be huge at the time. 

I have the same one for Max. It really is a god send! I put him in it when I shower and when I get out he is always sleeping.  If I can't get him to sleep I put him in it and it works its magic powers for me.

So happy for you and Everette. So great when you find something that works!!!!

He is just too cute!! So glad that you got a few breaks in there and he slept! May this be the beginning of great things to come!

I'll have to keep this swing in mind!

HE IS BEAUTIFULLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL......that is the same one I got as a gift and never opened :( but will with the next one...we got like 4 types of seats, bouncies, etc and did not have room to take that one with us to MD....now he is all over the ground and would not sit in it.....but I have it for our next one if we are so blessed.....

Glad you got the 20 min here and there and I will pray it keeps increasing....

Huggers,
