However, there is a practice of co-sleeping in India, that is, the baby sleeps with his parents. They’ve been used for generations, and even though their deukine (curved base and soft mattress) doesn’t meet the recommended safe sleep guidelines in the US and UK, the practice of cradle-sleeping is quite popular. Most Indian experts and doctors consider them safe provided you take necessary precautions and don’t leave your baby unsupervised while sleeping in the swing.

The traditional jhoola is essentially a cloth hammock made of cotton cloth, sari, rope or cane that rests on the beams of the ceiling or the bars of the stairs. Some are installed on a metal, plastic or wooden frame. However, now people do not use such swings and they are also not safe as there is a risk of the child falling in them.

know the age
Like a crib, a swing can only be used until your baby learns to turn on his own. Most babies start rolling over around three months, but for some babies it may be earlier. Your baby may roll over on his side or stomach while sleeping and may find it difficult to turn his back in a hammock or crib. This can be dangerous or even fatal as your child may find it difficult to breathe.
