Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I have a big mama's boy. He is 4 weeks old and will not go to anyone for me to take a halfway decent shower. If I laid him down, he'd scream. Even if he was sleeping when I laid him down, he would wake up and scream. He will let my husband hold him for about 10-15 minutes before he starts screaming but sometimes not even that long. My husband is returning to work soon so I knew I had to find something or I was never going to get anything done... we tried all sorts of things. My son hates being swaddled, hates the rock and play, hates his crib and pack and play, and hates his little bouncy seat. He only likes being held by me. Insert this swing glider thingy. Reviews were mixed on every single swing but I chose this one because he likes when I rock him in the chair glider that we have and it has free returns in case he didnt like it. Guys. Of course every baby is different but this has saved my sanity. My husband set it up in about 15 minutes and I put our son in it. He was drowsy but very much awake. Within 5 minutes he was out and slept for 2 HOURS! 2 FREAKING HOURS! I thought maybe it was just a fluke so I waited to write this review until we've been able to use it numerous times and everytime he stays asleep. Now I make sure he's drowsy, if not already sleeping, before putting him in it but still. Now I noticed some people complaining that the swing didnt swing when they turned it on and maybe they had a defective swing, but I noticed that it takes a few seconds to get going... especially if I wrap my son in a blanket and add extra weight because he's already an 11 pound baby, but it definitely glides... I've never used it above a 2. One thing I dont like about it is that you need a battery if you want to use the vibrations option but obviously not a deal breaker for me. It's also very quiet when it glides except when the vibration is on because it rattles the plastic cover underneath the seat. We solved that by shoving tissues under the cover and now it's completely silent!
