Naps in crib?

TheEditor

Our little guy sleeps in the pack n' play next to our bed overnight and that works very well.  That mattress is on a slight incline to help with gas problems.  During the day, he typically naps either in the pack n' play or bouncer.  The bouncer also puts him on an incline.  

I'd like to start transitioning daytime naps to the crib, but he doesn't last but 5 minutes before waking.  Any tips on transition to crib?  Is it too soon?  LO is 8 weeks.  Do I just need to raise the crib mattress on an incline, too?  How is that done?  Thanks for your help!

We put large books under the crib legs to give it a small incline. I think it's better to elevate the whole crib rather than just the mattress. Anything sturdy.

I'm not sure about transitioning. We went from pack and play to the crib with no difference. We did download a womb sounds single from iTunes that we play on a loop and we swaddle her. I also rock her after she is swaddled before putting her in the crib.

Thanks for the tips!  We do swaddle and LO has a sound machine.  I think there's too much new stuff for him to look at in the room with his crib.  It's pretty sparse in there, but to him everything is new and interesting....  Will try and try again!
