My 5 month old son has slept all his daytime naps either in the pram or in his very flat vibrating chair since he was about 7/8 weeks old.
This mostly started because during the 5 weeks of colic hell I had to hold him constantly to the point where a recurring numbness in my arms and fingers from an old injury that I'd cured with physio started to come back and I couldn't hold him securely, so one day I put him in the chair, gave him a dummy and a little polar bear comforter he snuggles into and it worked!
But we're now totally reliant on the chair, and though he's starting to nap less (overtiredness is an issue with afternoon nap, 1st two in the morning/midday are fine, but the 3rd one he fights), he wont sleep in my arms and wont sleep in the cot without the vibration, just tosses and bangs his legs and then the dummy's out and he's awake.
I really want to get him sleeping for his naps in the cot, mostly because he's started rolling and can almost sit up and soon he's going to be out of that chair, but don't want to rely on feeding to sleep, or do anything which makes him confused with bedtime (Bedtime is solid as a rock, bath every other night, changed into pyjamas in the dark, no eye contact, no noise, fed in gro bag and straight down - sometimes he's fallen asleep during feed, sometimes he wriggles a bit and pop dummy in and he drifts off on his own).
thoughts? initial thoughts are slowly start turning the vibration off earlier and earlier in the nap, put chair in bedroom rather than living room and should I get a sleep toy? Looked at tranquil turtle...
