Swaddle during naps?

DD has mostly napped while being held up to this point which has been fine but at 3.5 weeks I'm thinking I should get back to life and do some stuff around the house.  Problem is now she won't nap well because she gets her arms going and it's all down hill from there.  I swaddle her at night but thought it might be helpful for learning how to sleep un-swaddled if we started with naps.  This approach worked for my son but isn't flying with her.  So if you have swaddled during naps with a previous LO did you have a hard time transitioning down the road?  If you don't swaddle for naps any tips?

    I swaddle at night but only once during the day. I can count on one long nap from LO after lunch that lasts about 3 hours. That is the only one I swaddle her for. Her other cat naps I don't swaddle and just let her sleep as she wants. My thought behind this is I'm prepping her for years of an afternoon nap. I also lay her in her craddle for this nap but others she often sleeps in her swing.

    My DD is about the same age and this is our first week of daytime naps without being worn or held. I'm swaddling her. I don't see a reason not to swaddle her at this point.

    I swaddle for naps in the crib. If he naps elsewhere, I don't swaddle. I always swaddle at night, but with his arms out always.

    I only swaddle at night and for naps I let lo fall into his deep sleep in my arms then I put him down and he's fine.

    I loosely swaddle for naps, but will do a more serious one if she's not sleeping more than 20-30 minutes at a time. DS didn't ever want to be swaddled, so I'm just going with it for now. I think it's too early to really train them right now, and we'll deal with unswaddling when we get to that point.

    I swaddled DS for naps and night until 5 months. I did have trouble transitioning until I tried the Zip a dee zip. It's sounds dorky but it worked amazing for breaking him of his swaddle when we were ready. Just a thought! :]
