breaking naps in swing

nikkim76

How and when should I do this. One loves to nap in the swing and the other in the PNP in the living room. They are 5 months now. When should I beak them of this and how long will it take. They just hate napping in cribs but will sleep fine in them at night. They usually go right to sleep and sleep 9 hours. Any suggestions?

I started putting mine in the crib at about 5 months for naps.  At first they would only sleep 15-20 minutes at a time and within a few weeks we were up to them taking the normal one hour naps in the crib.

we never did naps outside of crib... well we do PNP now b/c one goes in our bedroom.

only advice i can give is to do first morning nap in crib.  don't let them have too much awake time (1 1/2 - 2hrs max).  i think they are most flexible to do something new at the 1st morning nap.

My twins also don't like crib for naps but go right down at night. I started with the afternoon nap because the morning nap is 2.5-3 hours in the swing and I am not ready for that to end!!
