hi,
I have been using the yaolan since my baby is 2 mths old. Now she is 7 mths old and still taking her naps in it. I make sure her night sleep is on the cot (I transferred her back to the cot after rocking her to sleep when she's 2 mths old). even when we travel, she can nap without the yaolan cos I substitue it with the pacifier. right now, she needs the pacifier to sleep in the yaolan.
As for affecting the spine devt, dun rock yr baby too hard. Make sure the floor is protected with a mattress in case the yaolan gives way. Let yr baby sleep in the cot at night by transferring her/him from the yaolan after she/he is sound asleep

hihi, my baby has been sleeping in yaolan since 2mths old. so far so gd for him cos he can nap for 3hrs & throughout the night too. theres really no maximun duration to use it cos some babies will not want to sleep in yaolan as they grow up.
my baby now dun really like to sleep in yaolan, he can sleep longer on our bed now. but he doesn't totally reject yaolan, we still put him in yaolan to sleep at night cos its cooling as compared to bed as he tends to sweat easily.

I did not use yaolan as well. Afraid that she has to rely on it cos my cousin's child, now about one year old, still relies on the yaolan to sleep at home. There was once he woke up without her knowing and he fell out of it! We all had a shock then.

My mum and aunt insisted that my daughter got to sleep in yao lan. Reason for so is she will sleep more easily. Because of that reason, my daughter started sleeping in the yao lan since she is 2 months old till now.
So far, I havent seen any 'side effects' resulted from using yao lan.
All the while, my daughter used the yao lan for naps only- maximum 2 hrs each time.
I dont want her to sleep in the yao lan thru the nite as my daughter is someone who is very wriggly. I am afraid she will 'drop' down from the yao lan.
Btw, one of my aunt who is a nanny, let the child sleep in the yao lan till he was 4 years old. But so far so good, no side effects from it- he is now 6 years old.

Ryan sleeps in yaolan for afternoon nap since he's 2weeks old. He will sleep for 2-3hours in it.
Sometimes when he's cranky for bedtime, i'll also put him in to rock him to sleep. Mostly for an hour only then switch him back to the bed to sleep with me.
At first i really against using yaolan but Ryan is so difficult and cranky sometimes, only yaolan can pacify him and let him sleep soundly.
I think if don't sleep for long hours, it shouldn't pose any "side effects" for baby.

I put my girl in yaolan for her naps too. She will sleep in her cot at night cos she loves sleeping on her tummy. MIL said that babies who sleep in yaolan the head will be very nicely shaped though I do not know if there's any truth to it. Nowadays she is starting to flip so her yaolan time is very much shortened.

hubby and i were just discussing about this topic of whether to buy sarong for louis. i was really against the idea of having sarong. We put louis at my In-laws place that day for morning only - can see they oredi like cannot take it - that day still haven't include bathing somemore. cos louis is very light sleeper - he can't sleep on bed, he sleep on bouncer now - at nite, after he is deep asleep, i then trf him into his cot. And mil has another 5yr old granddaughter to take care of. My FIL has no experience in baby caring though he has 2 children. So, his responsibility is to bounce Louis when he stirs. Louis nvr suck pacifier when i am taking care of him, but to ease them, i brought him a pacifer so they can "shut him up". Haiz..
So now another dilemma whether to buy sarong... another thing to wean him off next time... headache. I spoke to my mom, she say, can buy sarong, but transfer him out to sleep on bed when he is asleep. duno whether my mil will be free to do that, or they will let him sleep all the way inside (for convenience).

my girl is not using yaolan but then i would say to stop when the baby is still awake but then looks falling asleep. this is to train the bb to drift off to sleep by themsleves so they wont need to be rock to sleep. u can rock till they are sleepy but then stop as soon as they looks falling asleep. meaning let them drift off to sleep on a yaolan which is not moving.
my girl sleep in yao lan since 3 weeks old, but only for nap time. My girl don't like sleeping, for napping time if not on yao lan, she just nap for 30mins! So, at home I always put her in yao lan so at least she can nap 1.30 - 2 hrs per time. At night, I never use yao lan, I will pat her and she sleep the whole night on her cot from
11 till 8/9 am (my girl is a late sleeper!, 6am will have milk and will sleep again)
