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?

Totally okay! LO needs her sleep, and Mama needs a break!
-
When it comes to the four month sleep regression just do what works! Swing all the way!
-
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.

Do it. My LOs love(d) sleeping in the swing
-
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.

I let my son nap in the swing until around 5 months. Then he was over it, anyways!
-
I never let my son nap in a swing, always in his crib or in my arms, which I don't recommend either! So if you have to do something, I'd do the swing.

@MamaMoose: yeah I was thinking that I should not fight it right now. She turned 4 months yesterday!
-
@looch: she hates sleeping in my arms!
-
@Andrea: get out of here! Swing all the way then!
-
@looch: She hates being rocked to sleep by a person! Doesn't want anything to do with it so I think the swing is the way to go. Glad everyone agrees.

LO slept in the swing until about 4.5 months for naps. Then she was just over it and that was the end of that.

@winniebee: @googly-eyes: so "over it" meaning that they were ok with crib napping?
-
Yup. 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.
