My ds is a little over 3 months old. We don't really have a set schedule for the day, I do usually try to give him a bath right at 7:00 every night, then feed, swaddle, bounce and sleep-in the swing of course. Someone gave me some advice to start his day at the same time every morning, even if it means setting the alarm. He needs to be up at 7:00 so I've decided to wake him then and feed him every day at that time. At least that's a start. I hope it will help lay out a better schedule for him during the day. I want to regulate his naps so he knows when it's time for sleep, play, etc.
My main goal is to get him out of that swing though. I'm going to stick with the schedule and try to get him to nap in my arms like you said. Also, when he went down for a nap about....wow, it's been 30 minutes ago, I left one arm out of the swaddle. To my surprise, he seemed to like it. So far so good!
I'm so glad I found this site....what a lifesaver!!
