My baby is 4 months old and im a first time mom anyone know what month should I stop using a baby swing? Like Reply 6 CommentsNewest FirstOldest FirstViolation ReportedReport as InappropriateMotherOfCrotchFruit

When they out grow it according to the swing manufacturer. All swings vary in size and weight for “outgrowing” check your owners manual or google the make/model LikeViolation ReportedReport as InappropriateBBelgianWafflez

ETA: I saw the comment about manufacturers limits and my LO was rolling out of it before he outgrew it weight-wise LikeViolation ReportedReport as InappropriateBBirthnurse

for mine the manufacturer said as soon as they start trying to climb out LikeViolation ReportedReport as InappropriateAsterisk

When they outgrow it for wieght/height. LikeViolation ReportedReport as InappropriateB-kiddo

When they grow out weight wise or if they can sit unassisted. Every swing is different and the instructions are on the side.
