I have one of those baby swings, and I was just wondering when is the youngest that i can put my baby in it? I am having my c-section friday, so im just curious..Are new borns too young to put them in it?
 
No they are not too young. Just keep it on a low speed and make sure the baby is properly strapped in.

It depends on what type of swing it is... If they have to sit up while in the swing you should wait a couple months, consult your pediatrician. If they can lay down in the swing and it doesn't swing too hard/fast, a couple of weeks old should be fine.
 
The swing I have is reclined back like a car seat. I have been using it since I got it when my daughter was about 2 weeks old. I just put it on low setting. She loves it...especially the mobile it has above it.
