No, babies should not sleep in swings; if they do, "it’s important for the parent or caregiver to remove the child from the swing and move them to a firm sleep surface," Amanda Abramczyk-Thill, Injury Prevention Specialist at Children’s Hospital Colorado and Safe Kids Worldwide Coalition Coordinator says. CPSC's Safety Standard for Infant Sleep Products also states that sleep surfaces should have a maximum inclination of "10 degrees from horizontal." The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) also advises parents to move their baby to a flat surface if their baby appears drowsy or has fallen asleep in the swing. They are not meant to replace cribs and do not align with the AAP’s safe sleep guidelines.
