    my babies are 6wks old, and they sleep in a crib in their own room at night, but during the day they have gotten used to sleeping either on a human being, or in the kitchen in their bouncy chairs for naps. When should I transition them to the crib for naps, we have been trying this lately, and dd is doing ok with it, but ds is not. They are also going thro a growth spurt right now, so not sure if that is causing problems with the transition.

    or perhaps the babies are too young to try and schedule into the crib during the day....

    At that age my girls slept whereever they passed out... swing, bouncer, someone's arms. ;)
    Right before 3months I transitioned them to the crib for naps and they have been napping there ever since!

    They have slept in their crib at night since day 1.

    Mainly swings for the first 4-6 months.

    Wherever they crash. It seems like if I move them, they wake up and won't go back to sleep. I do plan on transitioning them to their cribs sometime but if it ain't broke don't fix it. They do sleep in their cribs at night.

    For the first 4 months - since we were always hanging out in the family room - they would take naps in the the Twin Bassinnet/Playpen that I bought. It worked out perfectly for us. Then from 4 to 6 months - they would either sleep on the oversized sofa/oversized ottoman that we had our on the swing.

    At that age we let our girls sleep wherever they could. Usually they slept in their papasan chairs or on their reflux wedges, but if they fell asleep on the floor, we just left them. Like the PP, around three months we started getting into more of a routine with naps actually in their cribs.

    We did CIO for nighttime at 4.5 months with Emma. After that routine was established, we started working on naps in cribs at about 5 months. Prior to that I had them nap absolutely anywhere they would.
