when did you stop using the swing for naps?

My LO recently turned 4 months and I know I need to stop using it, but it is the only way he will go down for his AM nap and I do not want a cranky baby all day!  He loves the movement and I hate that I will have to stop using it soon!

I am still doing this, I am all about if they baby is comfy and sleeping let him, I will start when he gets close to 25 pounds when he cant use the swing anymore, obiously I am very cross each bridge as it comes, it may bite me in the A$$ at some point lol

I started about a month ago now. He used to sleep for 3 hours in his swing, but now it's usually an hour and a half, though sometimes he will sleep for more. I think it's all about consistency. Once you start putting your LO down for naps in their crib, they will eventually start to sleep longer. GL!

I'm scared about not using the swing too.  I haven't started transitioning her out of it.  I also want to use it as long as possible because once she outgrows it, it won't be used.  I'd hate to only use it for 4-5 months when I know I could get a little more use out of it.  I'm so torn.....

DS is still napping in his swing.. otherwise he would not nap at all.  I have tried tp put him in his crib but 45min of screaming is more than I can handle.. I am hoping that he will tell me when he is ready to be out of it.. Although he is getting close to 25lbs so I may have to start thinking about how/when I will transition...

Honestly, I sent them to daycare at 12 weeks having never taken a nap in crib and only in a swing/on me.  The first weekend after that, they took all their naps in the crib.  Daycare sucks, but for that, it was worth every penny! 

It sounds like you're a SAHM, so I'm not very helpful, sorry.  You may have to sooth for the entire nap a few times.  Babies are adaptable though, but he'll figure it out.

I'm using mine still.  I'll use it until he tries to escape.  I used it with my dd until she was 9 months old (she was a peanut).  She has no sleep issues and is 3 years 7 months.
