Can you put a newborn in a mamaRoo?

Answered by Jason Smith

Absolutely! The mamaRoo infant seat is a versatile and adjustable baby swing that can be used right from birth. It comes with a newborn insert that provides extra support and comfort for your little one during those early weeks and months.

The newborn insert is specifically designed to cradle and support a newborn’s delicate body. It helps to keep them secure and snug while they enjoy the gentle motions of the mamaRoo. The insert is made from soft, plush fabric that is gentle against your baby’s skin.

Using the mamaRoo with the newborn insert is a great way to soothe and comfort your newborn. The seat has multiple different motion settings, such as a gentle sway or a bouncing motion, which can mimic the movements a baby experiences in the womb. This can be incredibly soothing for your little one and help them relax and fall asleep.

The mamaRoo also has various built-in sounds and music options that can further help to soothe and entertain your baby. The seat can be adjusted to different recline positions, allowing you to find the most comfortable and supportive position for your newborn.

It’s important to note that while the mamaRoo is suitable for use from birth, it does have weight and developmental limits. The maximum weight limit for the mamaRoo is 25 pounds. Once your baby reaches this weight, it’s time to transition them to a different seat or swing.

Additionally, the mamaRoo is designed for use until your baby can sit up unassisted or attempts to climb out. This is typically around the age of 6 months, but every baby is different. Once your little one reaches this stage, it’s time to retire the mamaRoo and explore other seating options.

In my personal experience, the mamaRoo was a lifesaver when my daughter was a newborn. She loved the gentle motions and soothing sounds, and it was a great way to keep her calm and content while I attended to other tasks. The newborn insert provided extra support and kept her snug and secure, which gave me peace of mind.

The mamaRoo can indeed be used with a newborn. The included newborn insert provides the necessary support and comfort for your little one, and the adjustable settings and motions can help soothe and entertain them. Just remember to follow the weight and developmental guidelines to ensure your baby’s safety and comfort.
