We have a newborn in the house and I hung a wicker baby basket from
the ceiling so it could swing. Then I found a coil spring which I
added to the system, and the up-and-down motion comforts the baby much
more than swinging alone. Only thing is that the spring oscillates a
bit too fast, and not very far or long. I think I'm looking for a
slightly less stiff spring with more coiled length, but where to find
one? I can't think of any typical application where a spring like this
would be used. The basket + baby weighs about 10kg, if that helps.
Thanks,
