Sorry my laptop did something weird and now I don't know how to edit the title...but it should have said baby swing seat!!!!!
My LO is 14 weeks and still a nightmare at sleeping anywhere other than on me during the day, unless we're out in the car or walking with the pram. When she gets overtired I have to stand up and rock her until she goes off and she's getting heavy!!! It also means I get very little done during the day when we're at home. When she's in her rocker chair she just cries when she gets too tired and will never fall asleep in it. We're moving house in a couple of weeks and will have much more room and a few people have recommended a swing seat and said this may solve the problem and send her off to sleep. But I've had a look and a lot of them are only suitable up to around 20lbs and she's already 13lbs10. I was looking at the fisher price swing that then converts to a toddler seat so that we'd get more use out of it but it's the swing seat we really want. Are there any that are suitable up to a heavier weight? I'm not sure how long it'll be before LO is 6lbs heavier either, but considering she's put on nearly 5lbs in three months I'm guessing it won't be that long!

She is 1 at the end of january and only wqeighs 19lb 4! she did go up to 20lb 6oz last month when i had her weighed but she started walking just before then and i think the weight loss has been due to the moving around alot but she has also been ill!
either way i think it will take longer than you think to reach 20lb! We brought a swing seat from argos because it was only about ??60 and we have kept it for when we have another baby! maybe try getting a second hand swing seat if you don't mind preused things that way you aren't wasting your money if LO does reach 20lb before getting a lot of use out of it but i personally think they r worth their money even if it lasts a week! LOL
Hope this helps
Also ment to say if you are considering ever having any more kids you will always have it for them too! xxx
Thanks for the info on weight gain too, I have no idea about these things!!!
no3bump - whenever hubby mentions 'the next one' I tell him I'm not having any more as the memories of pregnancy and giving birth are still too vivid...but I know that'll fade and I'm sure there'll be another bambino in the family in a few years!!!
