A couple of weeks ago we broke down and bought a swing for Elsa.
Before she was born, we didn’t intend to get one. But after about ten days, we realized we needed every ally we could muster in the ongoing campaign to stave off crying.
It’s not the fanciest swing on the market, but it can move side-to-side or front-to-back, and it has a bunch of scary features we don’t use, like fake cricket sounds and a rotating disco ball of stuffed animals.
Sometimes Elsa loves it and occasionally she hates it, but overall it has been successful at keeping her happy for a few minutes a day.
Here’s some video I shot this afternoon of Elsa contentedly hanging out in her swing:

She sounds Happy! Swings are a lifesaver for parents until mobility sets in…enjoy.
