We have gotten into a good routine, which has been a challenge because LO is a sleep fighter & a catnapper. What has really helped is having her nap in her swing. Otherwise she cries for a long time falling asleep & will usually wake up after 30-40 mins. She takes 3-4 naps for 1-1.5 hrs in there everyday. I feel pretty guilty... and I worry that it will be hard to wean her from it. Just wondering others' experiences?

Yup, he slept every nap and night sleep in the swing (it helped with his reflux). We weaned at about 6 months and he started napping well at daycare but not at home. We decided it was better to get good sleep established anywhere than it was to be in a crib. Just know that there will be difficulty while weaning but that was worth it to us.

DD2 was a swing napper, but one day she was just over it and tried to climb out. So I put her in the crib and she napped fine! She was about 6 months I think.

We did the same thing, and LO was over it by about 4 months. She would squirm around and try and roll out, at which point we started nap training (we sleep trained around 3.5 months). At 19 months old, she is a wonderful sleeper, and I am very lucky.

She magically began napping in her crib right before Christmas (6 months old). She was a swing napper before that.

He napped exclusively in his swing for the first 5.5 months. I transitioned him to his crib with his Magic Sleepsuit and he's been there for sleep and naps ever since. It was a very easy transition.

We did swing naps only the first three months. He weaned easily to his crib and it was so much easier than I expected. I didn't really do anything but start putting him in his crib... I had the same fear you do, but I can say that if that's how LO#2 naps best, I'll do it again in a heart beat!
