Baby Sleeping In Swing: Most parents use a swing to put their children to sleep. Children also fall asleep very easily while swinging in the swing. Children like to swing on the swing and parents can also do their work easily by making the children sleep peacefully in the swing. But do you know that putting children to sleep in a swing can be dangerous for them. Yes, you read it right, children should be made to sleep on flat ground instead of sleeping in a swing. Doctors also advise not to swing children in swings. In fact, while sleeping in the swing, the child’s head may tilt forward due to which they may have difficulty in breathing. Due to not having the right sleeping position, children can also have the problem of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). Let us know what can be the disadvantages of putting children to sleep in the swing.
disadvantages of sleeping in a swing
1. Threat in physical development
You can make children sit in the swing because by putting them to sleep, their other activities stop, which can also stop their development. That’s why make them sleep on a flat bed so that they will also learn to walk.
2. Weakness of muscles
When there is no activity in the body, then the muscles will start getting weak. Due to weak muscles, children are not able to lift their neck properly. On the other hand, by sleeping on a flat place, the child can take support of the neck.
3. Feeling suffocated
When you put the children to sleep on the swing, their neck movement is very less due to which they may suffer from suffocation. That’s why even if you can make the children sleep on the swing for some time, but do not make them sleep in the swing for a long time.
4. Indigestion
While sleeping on the swing, many times the child lies on the stomach and when they remain in this position for a long time, they may have to face the problem of indigestion.
5. Plagiocephaly positional problem
Lying in one place on the swing can cause the problem of plagiocephaly positional to the child. In such a condition, the child is not able to do neck movement. The level of oxygen in his body becomes low and the level of carbon dioxide increases due to which all his activities stop.
