Swing or not to swing...

[Pocketmonster]

I've decided against a moses basket as they seem rather expensive in comparison to a crib once you have paid for the basket...stand and mattress..I don't have stairs so will be easy enough for me to move a crib between rooms.

I've seen some people say a swinging crib too unstable for a LO and a fixed crib is better?!?

What is everyone elses opinion/experience. First time mum here!!

I was advised by mw with dd not to use swing feature at bedtimes as lo will get used to it and will the need rocking as gets older.

ps i had wooden crib. personal choice but lo was in it til around 5 months so lasted longer and lo had more space.

Thanks....that is a very good point!!

The crib is a must, all I see is people saying their bubbas have out grown their moses baskets!!!

I think I will stick with a fixed one!

I am getting my little one a swing, a bassinet, a bouncy vibrating chair and a swing. The bassinet to go in our room for the first few months until the baby moves to his/her own room, the crib for the nursery, the swing for the nursery or living room, and the bouncy vibrating chair to move back and forth between the rooms . Probally no stairs in the new house we are getting (we are moving to Korea, and will most likely live in an appartment.)

Is more whether to get the crib swinging or not?!? And what peoples experiences are x x
