Rock n play vs swing

What is the difference ? Do you need both or just one? If so, which one do you recommend ?

Rock n play vs swing

I had a swing with my DD and not the Rock and Play. I plan on getting a Rock and Play with this pregnancy for the baby to sleep in while in my room. I also have my swing which will be set up in my living room.

With my DD, I borrowed a bassinet from a friend. My DD HATED it. I had to put her bouncy seat in the bassinet and strap her in the bouncy seat so she was on an incline and had the vibrations.

The Rock & Play that I am getting rocks on its own, vibrates, plays music and can be used with batteries or plugged in.

I would def recommend both. Dd slept in her rnp for the first 7 weeks in our bedroom before going to her crib. We traveled with it so she could sleep in it. Used it in the bathroom so I could shower. Etc.

The swing was great for soothing and naps. It moves unlike the rnp

I would also recommend both. DS slept in the RNP for 8 weeks since he hated his bassinet. We used the swing during the day and he would nap in there.

I too recommend both! My little one slept in the rock and play and napped and hung out in the swing!

I recommend both. Sometimes only the swing would soothe him. He napped in the rnp for a LONG time.

Re: Rock n play vs swing

we used both. DS slept in RNP in our room at night and he loved the swing during the day. We plan to use them both for DS #2 when he arrives

We don't have the rock n play with DS, but when we have another baby we will be getting it because the cradle was a disaster with DS. We have a swing, but DS hates that as well. He will stay/sleep in the rocking part (we have the Graco one that you can take the rocker off or leave it on for the swing), but does not like the motion/sound of the swing. He slept in the Fisher Price Lil Lamb Infant Seat for the first 6 weeks of his life.

Re: Rock n play vs swing

I had both: they are very different.

Your kid may love or hate the swing (I had one of each).

We used the RNP for a travel bed.

Don't have either. DS slept in NICU for the first 5 days, then was in a PNP for about 2 weeks, then was in his own crib after that. He loves the swing at daycare. We still use the PNP for when we travel.

I definitely recommend both. DD slept in the rock n play until she was 3 months, now we use it for naps. She loves the swing! She will play in it for a while and most of the time it puts her to sleep.I must say, both were lifesavers for me on the beginning!!

Thanks everyone , will register for both !

Def. both. We still use the swing for naps sometimes!

Re: Rock n play vs swing

Both! They're pretty different. Rock n play is very portable and they can sleep in it over night if need be. The swing swings by itself though and that is also a delight. Not very portable though.

I have both and use both.

With my DD we used a RNP and plan to use it this time around. I had a swing for my DS(before RNPs). I personally prefer the RNP.

We used both with DD. The swing we kept downstairs and the RnP was upstairs.
