sleeping in swing???

for the last several nighs ds is screaming bloody murder if I try to take him out of the swing and put him in the crib, he is just reght weeks. I don't know what to do....Im thinking its probably not all that healthy to have him in the swing all night ...he just seems miserable not in the swing

I'm not sure, but I know around 7 months my brother put his daughter to sleep in the soothing motions chair (it swings side to side but is low to ground) when she had a cold (the seat was inclined). The ped. told them to do that. I don't know how much age matters.
I hope things get better.

Lily spent many nights in the swing as an infant...she eventually grew out of it with no obvious side effects!
Is there a way to get him to fall asleep not in the swing? It can be scary for a baby to fall asleep in one place and wake up in another. Imagine how you'd feel if someone picked you up and put you in a different spot when you were sleeping!
How long do you let him sleep before you try to take him out? We used to let Lily sleep for an hour or two before we'd move her (ever so gently) into her crib.

its fine...Ds Slept in there till he was almost 7 months old. Our Ped said it was fine. It was harder to transition him to the crib...but do what you need to do to get sleep IMO.
