Sleep

Help - addicted to bouncy chair!

My DS loves his bouncy chair and always has his best and longest naps in it. When all else fails I can generally get him off to sleep by bouncing him with one foot. Tragically he is now almost too big for it - well in fact really he's already too big the instructions say up to 7kg and he is now nearly 9 and the harness barely fits any more.

Does anyone know whether a similar product exists for older children? Failing that, any ideas how I can get us through the withdrawal period? Weirdly he sleeps fine in his cot at night, it's just daytime sleep.

You are a star! I was worried everyone would just lecture on not using sleep props! Whereas in fact what I want is as many props as possible

well - they are lying down, so I dont really see the prob... DS napped in his swing in the early days, and it was a god send! HV said as long as they werent sat up and sleeping, it was ok...

I agree - and if I was having to put him to sleep at nights in it, it would be different, but daytime sleep I dont' worry as much.
