Swing swing swing

One of the hardest things about Kavi's recovery is that we can't really let him lay on his tummy or crawl around. The tube he has in, like a catheter but empties into his diaper, can't be bent so he can't go on his tummy. He usually sleeps on his side or belly and loves to play on the floor that way, so we continually have to make sure he doesn't flip over. So for a lot of time, he had to be in his stroller and we constantly had to be pushing him around in it for him to be happy or nap during the day. But he has been fighting his naps which makes him so tired during the day and we are tired from having to push him around in the stroller. 

So we decided we needed a swing for Kavi. We have one already that our friends let us borrow, but it's smaller and doesn't recline much, plus it has a tray bar that is permanently on it which wouldn't be comfortable for him. Me and my mom went to a second hand baby store and found a cute compact swing for $35, it's $70 brand new in stores.  It folds up and is so light to carry around, plus it's cute. It has music, lights, and a few toys, plus different speed settings for the swing. 

Here is a picture I found online of the swing model, it is aquarium themed. 

Well we put him in it, gave him a bottle, and in 5 minutes he was sleeping. He's been sleeping over an hour now for a nap, which hasn't happened in days! Such a relief for him, and for us! 

I would highly recommend this kind of swing even over the full size big ones.
