Any tips for transitioning from swing to crib?

My ds sleeps overnight in his swing and has since day one.  I am trying to get him to sleep in the crib and so far he 100% sleeps in the crib for naps.  Overnight, I put him in the crib to start but he always wakes up between 11-2 and to get him back to sleep I either have to nurse him or put him in the swing.  He isn't waking because he is hungry as the nights he is in his swing he never wakes.

Any tips or suggestions?

    I would do it cold turkey especially since he sleeps in his crib for naps. I did it with my 1st DD but it was the opposite she slept in the crib at night but swing for naps for 7 months until the swing couldnt swing her because she was too heavy lol we switched cold turkey and in a week she was fine sleeping in the crib for naps.

    Try having him sleep in his swing with it not swinging first.

    I think this is my next step.  I planned on doing this and/or cold turkey this long weekend.  But he got a cold and is not sleeping well at all.  Boo.
