our crib transition and weaning progress

Daytime naps: We have been doing naps in crib for 5 daysnow in his own room. We also took this time to break swaddled during naps. He gets laid down on his tummy awake, given his lovey and his pacifier. I pat his back till he is drowsy and then let him fall asleep the rest of the way on his own. Sadly he is only napping for 30 minutes Max and wakes up obviously tired still but is impossible to get back to sleep. So for the next hour and a half between naps he is cranky. Hoping he consolidates soon!

Night sleep in crib trial run: 8:00 nursed to sleep in swaddle 8:50 laid in crib asleep Slept until 1am Took him back to my bed to nurse, from there he woke every 1.5 to 2 hours.

Night sleep in crib in own room: Night 1 We are also nightweaning. He has been comfort nursing 8 times or more a night!

7:30 Nursed to sleep in swaddle

8:00 Laid in crib asleep 3 attempts at pick up to sooth and put back down before it stuck

8:21 to 11pm first stretch of sleep nursed to sleep and laid back in crib, 3 more failed attempts at pick up to sooth and put down, finally I unswaddled and rolled him to his tummy, gave him lovey and pacifier and he went to sleep. This all took two hours.

1:00am to 3:00am second stretch of sleep 3 attempts at simply giving pacifier, no pick ups, no nursing. Took a half hour before it stuck.

3:30 to 5:30 third stretch of sleep again 3 attempts of strictly giving pacifier, again took 30 minutes before it stuck.

6:00 to 6:30 is all I got for the next bit of sleep. Finally brought him to bed to nurse, but he didn't go back to sleep:

Hoping tonight goes better : Any suggestions from anyone? I so want to quit and just cosleep because even waking to comfort nurse at least he went right back to sleep and so did I. I got maybe 4 hours of sleep last night. Need some reassurance.
