Eventually I decided I was over it, and started slowly decreasing the setting but keeping the white noise until he was moving verrrrrry slowly but could still sleep. His naps weren't as long anymore but one day I just moved him to the crib and that was that. There was an adjustment period, but I needed him to be in his nursery during the day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/using-a-swing-to-help-baby-to-fall-asleep-on-their-own-in-crib#post-2057858 Fri, 06 Feb 2015 15:24:29 +0000 ellewoods84 2057858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My baby was a swing addict. If we turned it on, she would eventually drift off to sleep (usually). To get her to fall asleep though, I would have to have it in a pretty high setting. Once she was asleep, I would turn it down, but could never successfully turn it off. I tried getting her to sleep at a lower swing setting, and that also rarely worked. So, no, for us we could never just put her in the swing eventually and she would fall asleep. She took all naps in the swing exclusively until probably around.....5 months. One day she just decided she was over it, and I attempted many a time to rock her, just put her in the crib, etc. it never worked. We eventually had to nap train. I also read that article and thought, wow, that sounds awesome, but it unfortunately never worked for us! But, I have a terrible sleeper, so it might work for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/using-a-swing-to-help-baby-to-fall-asleep-on-their-own-in-crib#post-2057825 Fri, 06 Feb 2015 15:02:48 +0000 miramira 2057825@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Has anyone had success with this technique that is meant to encourage babies to eventually fall asleep on their own in the crib? Basically it involves putting them in a swing to be rocked to sleep then moving them to the crib once it stops. I'm guessing that eventually you cut out the swing entirely and the baby's meant to be happy to go straight to the crib without rocking? It's described here under point 1: <a href="http://www.troublesometots.com/what-you-need-to-know-about-sleeping-through-the-night-part-2/" rel="nofollow">http://www.troublesometots.com/what-you-need-to-know-about-sleeping-through-the-night-part-2/</a> </p>
