[tri-med] Re: older triers

it's really?just a hammock folded in half (i'm sure the "official" net swing 
costs tons of money, but you can get a hammock at a sports store and her 
therapist said that it was the same thing), with both ends hooked up to the 
same I-Hook. When we put her into it she actually straddles the net and we 
spread the rest of it around her to support her bottom and kind of enclose her. 
You can also put the kids in laying down or really any old way. i bet ella 
would get a big kick out of it.

Kelly- what kind of net swing is it?  Can you get it at Babies R Us or 
something?

Kaiya is all about rocking...and she's all about swinging! Her favorite 
swing is the net swing. She likes being encased in the netting and she is 
able  to 
spin and swing really high. I haven't noticed any decrease in her rocking 
with the swinging. She's just all about vestibular stimulation. If she 
could be 
hung upside down all day long she would be the happiest kid in the world!

Claire  had PT today and she was 'rocking' - backand forth, something
she just  started doing, and her therapist mentioned that she wasn't
getting enough  'spacial' stimulation... mentioned that she needed to
swing, etc.
We had  an infant swing for her when she was tiny, but gave that away
as she  outgrew it. Now we will look into another swing for her.  The
PT  mentioned that sometimes kids don't get enough and they tend to do
to  things that are socially unacceptable (like rocking).

Guessing that  parents with older triers knew this, but might be able
to chime in on what  we should think about in regards to stimulating
her with swings, and does  it help to keep her from rocking?  How cool
to have a simple solution  like that.
