Miles napped in the swing until he was 9 months old. He reached the weight limit and his legs were hanging over the end, and still we were like, pleeease can we somehow stretch this out a little longer?? It was like magic how that thing would keep him snoozing peacefully, as long as it was moving of course… leading to the occasional frantic battery search as the motion slowed and the cheerful digi-classical music melted into a horror movie soundtrack (the sounds don’t seem to work at all anymore but I don’t miss them).

Julius can kind of dig it, but only when he is fully asleep in the wrap/Ergo and I make the delicate transfer from mommy to swing, and then close the door to the room because no, there is no way to keep your toddler from messing with these things.
