How long does your baby stay in a swing or bouncer before they start to fuss and demand to be let out?

What else do you have to put them in and how long do they stay? Also how old are they?





My daughter will be 3 months in a few days and will stay in her swing sometimes hours, usually falls asleep after about 5 minutes. her bouncer, 30 minutes maybe.





just a fun question, kinda bored right now|||My little one loved his swing in the beginning and spent numerous hours napping. He didn't enjoy the vibration chair as much and would make it known he was done after a shorter period of time. He went through a phase where he didn't want to be in the swing at all (around 4 months). Now he is napping in his swing during the day for up to 2 hours. He is six months old and sleeps through the night in his crib most nights (about 11 hours) so I don't make him sleep in his crib for his naps during the day. This has worked for the past 2 months. If it needs to be changed in the future then we will roll with the punches.|||My daughter is only 5 weeks now but she will stay in her swing maybe 15 minutes if she doesn't fall asleep. We usually set her bouncer chair on the table and she will sit in it while we have dinner, she used to only last like 5 minutes, but yesterday she discovered that whenever she kicked her feet the music and lights came on and so we've gotten a good 30 minutes out of it the last two nights! It was amazing to watch her figure this out and so cute!|||When my son would fall asleep in the swing, it would be hours sometimes, but as soon as he woke up he wanted out. Now he is 7 months old and we have moved naps up to his crib. I tried to use the swing as someplace to play or as down time but even with the 5 point harness he tries to make it bounce and I am worried he will break it! So the swing is now dismantled and the seat portion is a temporary baby barrier to keep him away from some blinds, a power outlet and a heating vent along with his old school bouncy chair (no batteries) that he learned at 5 months how to undo the velcro.





So we have the exersaucer, the bouncing activity center from Baby Einstein, his playpen and an open area on the floor (only with supervision since there is no way to properly gate him off). It all depends on his mood, some days he will spend over an hour in one of his play areas, other days it's 5 minutes and then get me out and play with me! At 3 months my son was too little for the saucer and we didn't have the bouncer yet. He spent a lot of time on his play mat on the floor, in my arms or asleep in the swing.|||My son stays in his bouncer for about 20-30 minutes. The swing depends - if he falls asleep he'll stay there for a couple hours, otherwise about a half hour or so.


I also put him on his playmat, he usually only stays there for about 15 minutes. We also have a tummy time mat, but the most he ever stays on that is 5 minutes tops, no matter what I do. Maybe when he's a little older he'll like it more.


He's 2 months.|||Usually half hour tops. Then she wants out.|||she'll let you know when she's had enough!
