Well she just stopped falling asleep in the swing and it became more play than sleep. I started putting her in the crib and although it's not always easy to get her down (not as easy as at night anyway) it is more successful than the swing by far. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-just-let-her-nap-in-the-swing#post-754532 Wed, 01 May 2013 11:47:04 +0000 Andrea 754532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: @googly-eyes: so "over it" meaning that they were ok with crib napping? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-just-let-her-nap-in-the-swing#post-754514 Wed, 01 May 2013 11:32:02 +0000 googly-eyes 754514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO slept in the swing until about 4.5 months for naps.

Doesn't want anything to do with it so I think the swing is the way to go. Glad everyone agrees. :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-just-let-her-nap-in-the-swing#post-754508 Wed, 01 May 2013 11:27:23 +0000 looch 754508@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: get out of here!

So if you have to do something, I'd do the swing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-just-let-her-nap-in-the-swing#post-754489 Wed, 01 May 2013 11:20:54 +0000 winniebee 754489@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I let my son nap in the swing until around 5 months. Then he was over it, anyways! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-just-let-her-nap-in-the-swing#post-754487 Wed, 01 May 2013 11:20:26 +0000 littlepenguin 754487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I let my son nap in a vibrating chair,it's the only place he'll sleep during the day. I think as long as she's safe in the swing, its ok. You got to do what works for you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-just-let-her-nap-in-the-swing#post-754466 Wed, 01 May 2013 11:13:34 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 754466@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do it. My LOs love(d) sleeping in the swing </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-just-let-her-nap-in-the-swing#post-754440 Wed, 01 May 2013 11:04:59 +0000 DillonLion 754440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is at daycare during the week, but on weekends, I always put her in the swing for naps. She sleeps in her crib at night. She's 5 months old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-just-let-her-nap-in-the-swing#post-754439 Wed, 01 May 2013 11:04:32 +0000 MamaMoose 754439@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When it comes to the four month sleep regression just do what works! Swing all the way! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-just-let-her-nap-in-the-swing#post-754433 Wed, 01 May 2013 11:02:55 +0000 MsLipGloss 754433@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Totally okay! LO needs her sleep, and Mama needs a break! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-just-let-her-nap-in-the-swing#post-754428 Wed, 01 May 2013 11:01:19 +0000 Andrea 754428@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD napped well in her crib until about a month ago? She just turned 4 months and the crib has been hit or miss for at least a month. If the crib doesn't work, then I put her in the swing. For the last week, the crib doesn't work at all so I always end up transferring her to the swing anyway. I let her fuss/cry for up to half an hour before doing the transfer. Should I just cave and let her sleep in the swing from the start of the nap? She sleeps fine at night in the crib so I'm thinking maybe it's OK to nap in the swing? Or am I setting myself up for a problem down the line? </p>
