Disadvantages of sleeping in a swing

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 unable to lift their neck properly. At the same time, by sleeping on a flat place, the child is able to take support of the neck.
3. Feeling suffocated

4. Sour belching
Many times while sleeping on the swing, the baby lies on his stomach and when he stays in this position for a long time then he may have to face the problem of sour belching.
