DD would only sleep in her swing for the first two months. We started doing naps in the crib and then eventually put her in her crib overnight. She didn't take to it right away and after many nights of trying we discovered it helped by having a lot of noise makers and light displays in her nursery. We started off by having her mobile on and a little aquirium music maker thing , they eventually stopped so DD would get upset. Then we added in this sound machine we found at Target that had a projection on the wall as well as playing a heartbeat sound that goes off continuously. So once the first things turn themselves off, she is left with a gentle heartbeat and slow moving projection. It sounds like a lot, but it was the only thing that would work. We are starting to take things away one by one and so far it's going great! LO is sleeping from 8pm til 6am!
