Are you using crib/bassinet/co-sleeper/bed share/RNP?
In your room or their own room?
Swaddled/unswaddled?

Re: Where and how does LO sleep? (non-clicky poll)
I'll start:
RNP, in my room, swaddled.
But, it's getting hot, he hates the swaddle (but keeps himself awake if not swaddled), and I think it's time he sleeps in his crib in his room so he can start to explore on his own without being so confined. But, he doesn't seem to be interested in that!
Sleeping was going GREAT until last week when we stayed with my parents and she had a late night. Now she's so overtired she hasn't been able to let herself get a really long sleep.
Right now, she's sleeping in a PnP in our room swaddled for the night.
I don't swaddle for naps. Naps are in the swing, her crib in her room, or the car seat when we're out.
BUT - I'm thinking that she needs to move to her room because I think we're starting to bother her more than anything else. We go to sleep after she does, which is disruptive to her, and she wakes up to DH's alarm or to him getting ready in the morning since he has to walk past her a hundred times. I'm not ready for it, but I think she is.
DD has slept in her crib in her room since day 1. We only bring her in our room in the PNP if we have overnight visitors - so we can get to her faster and hopefully don't wake our guests.
We pin her arms down using step 1 of the escape proof swaddle (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5K4VdZxwsu4), but do not wrap her in blankets. She breaks loose during the night, but that's ok. We use it more as a "it's bed time" cue and a calm down method than to actually restrict her movement. Usually when we go in in the morning she's sleeping on her side.
Edit: Naps are in the swing.
Crib, his room, unswaddled
DS has been in his crib since he was 3 wks old. Only time he doesn't sleep in his crib is if he fussy for constant movement, he'll sleep in the swing in our room (but that's few and far between). He went from being swaddled all the time, to every once in a while, to not at all.
Crib, his room, swaddled. We transistioned him to his own room at 3 monthns and he slept better for it.
Still in our room because he is in his RnP.
And yes SWADDLED!!!!!
At night she is in her crip, swaddled, however she is breaking out of the swaddle and we will stop using soon. For naps on her nap nanny on our bed in our room.
She been in her crip since 8 weeks old.

Crib.
His Room.
Unswaddled.
DS sleeps in his crib and has since he was about 4 weeks old, he hated his PNP.
We just moved the crib and him into his own room tonight... so we'll see how that goes. He was in our room up until now.
He's unswaddled. He started breaking out of it at 2 months so we just weaned him off of it. Sleeps great without it now!
At night he's in his crib, in his room, swaddled. We made the switch from our room around 3 months. DH was starting to wake him when he came to bed and he needed his own space.
For naps he's anywhere I can get him to stay asleep. (usually the swing or our bed)
Of course now he's going through his four month wakeful, and STTN with frequent naps is over for now. Today has been awful with both nursing and napping. Tonight he's just been screaming, with his eyes closed and falling right back asleep when I pick him up. His routine is shot to sh!t since Easter and now Grandpa is visiting too. Right now he's sleeping in our bed and I'll join him in a bit.
crib/ our room/ unswaddled he gets hot quick.
