Let’s Bounce !
I so wish I had found this when my son was a baby.
I remember having a bouncer myself—my parents even hung it from the door frame.It was simple, gentle, and such a comforting part of my early days.
Funny how some things come full circle…
and how we’re always rediscovering
what truly works for babies. ✨👶
Benefits of Baby Bouncers
1. Soothes and Calms
Gentle bouncing can help settle fussy or overstimulated babies.
2. Supports Motor Development
Some bouncers have interactive toys, lights, or music that encourage:
reaching
grasping
visual tracking
3. Frees Up Hands (Safely!)
When baby is awake and alert, a bouncer gives you a temporary break while keeping baby safe and within sight.
4. Great for Short Rest/Play
Perfect for short periods while:
You prep dinner
You take a quick call
You do light chores
5. Promotes Core Strength
The slight movement and position help strengthen neck and core muscles before babies can hold their head steadily.
6. Portable & Easy to Use
Many bouncers are lightweight and foldable—great for moving between rooms.
Benefits of Baby Swings
1. Mimics the Womb
Side-to-side swaying or gentle rocking feels familiar and comforting—especially for newborns.
2. Helps With Sleep/Soothing
The motion can lull babies to nap, which gives caregivers a break.
3. Adjustable Settings
Many swings let you tweak:
speed
motion type
music or sounds
This helps you find what your baby likes best.
4. Can Ease Gas and Colic Discomfort
Gentle motion sometimes helps relieve fussiness linked to digestion.
5. Provides Sensory Stimulation
Some swings have mobiles, lights, or built-in music that keeps baby engaged.
