@Andrea: My son was napping almost exclusively in his swing (moving!) and in the R&P at night until 4 months. We basically quit the R&P cold turkey at night during the 4 month regression b/c he was getting up 3x a night then! It only took a few nights to regulate (as you can see by the above post. I still let him nap in his swing for his morning nap after the transition and then within a few weeks quit that too. The main concern was that he was starting daycare at 5.5 months and I wanted him to be used to sleeping in a crib.

We switched to crib at 6 weeks but then when she had her 2 month shots I freaked out and let her sleep back in it so she was next to me (gave her Tylenol and wanted to make sure she was okay) and she wouldn't go back to crib. Finally at 14 weeks we made her go cold turkey over a long weekend and she's been fine every since. We have retired the RnP completely just so it doesn't change her mind about the crib!

We switched to the crib at about 4.5-5 months old. He got sick and the RNP helped with the drainage and sleeping better. One night, we put him in the RNP and he fit. By the morning, he just didn't fit in it anymore. That day during naps, we transitioned him to the crib. Around the same time, maybe a week or so later, we stopped swaddling him.

We made the transition at 4 months and it only took a couple nights to adjust. Wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be! We transitioned naps and night at the same time. I put him back in it around 5.5 months for a couple nights due to a small cold (the incline helped him breathe better) but at that point he really preferred the crib, so it was a non-issue going back!
