Are baby swings safe for sleep?

No. Per AAP guidance, baby swings are not safe sleep surfaces. If your baby falls asleep in a swing, move them to a flat, firm crib or bassinet, and never leave a baby unattended in a swing.

When should I stop using a baby swing?

Stop at the manufacturer's weight limit or once your baby can sit up unassisted or push to hands and knees — whichever comes first, often around 6 months.
