Baby swing? There are so many different things written online, what's the truth?

Don't be confused about baby swings—you're right, there's conflicting information online.
Let me sum it up: Baby swings can be okay for supervised short-term soothing but are not recommended for long sleep or nighttime sleep. The AAP (American Academy of Pediatrics) recommends babies sleep on their backs on a firm, flat surface. The inclined surface of a swing, especially for a baby under 4 months, can carry a breathing risk.
In practice, safe use is like this: there's no problem with baby taking a few-minute swing while awake and supervised; it can even help soothe a fussy baby. Once baby falls asleep, it's best to move them from the swing to a flat bed. Leaving baby in the swing overnight and not properly fastening the safety belt is the most common risky mistake.
In short: use it as a soothing tool, not as a sleep place.
