My son is 5.5 months old. He won't go to sleep (this includes naps) unless nursed or walked ina baby sling. For naps, he is nursed or walked to sleep and then transferred to a swing. He will wake up if laid down on tummy or back. The swing is not in motion, however, because I learned that it didn't make a difference. He usually wakes up after 30 min if he's in the swing. We have a dark room and white noise. He ended up sleeping on my chest at night at a few months old and still does. His bed time is 6:30 and I nurse him to sleep and transfer him to the swing for the first part of the night, where he will usually sleep around 2 hours. After he wakes, I go in and he lays on my chest the rest of the night. He wakes every 1-2 hours for nursing; most of the time it's comfort nursing. My parents watch him 3 days a week while I work and they are able to walk him to sleep in the sling for a few short naps. He gets tired after one hour awake time and is generally up for 2 hrs by the time he's Walked to sleep because it takes a while. Nothing else works to get him to sleep. He's very persistent and he will cry and cry if you're trying to put him to sleep in a way other than nursing or walking. He starts at a daycare center in 2 weeks-he'll he 6 months then. He will be there 3 days a week, I will be home the other 4 days. I am concerned about him napping in daycare with all the noise and how will they get him to sleep? My other concerns are that he doesn't sleep anywhere except in a swing, sling, or on me! And he only falls asleep being walked or nursed. His sleep times are short. Please help! Also, he won't take a pacifier, and I don't want him to cry it out!
