Tristan is a good sleeper, especially compared to my DD who had to be held for every single nap until after 3 months, and who never slept more than 3 hours in a row until 18 months.
Tristan usually gets 4-5 naps in in a day. In the morning I put him down in a Snuggle Nest in his crib, also swaddled, sometimes with white noise, and he'll usually get in 2 1-hour naps before noon. In the afternoon I put him in the baby swing, swaddled, with white noise, and he'll often take 2 2-hour naps, then another quick 1-hour nap in the late afternoon/early evening. For whatever reason, if I put him in the swing like that in the morning he still only sleeps 45-60 minutes per nap; and in the afternoon he'll only sleep 45-60 minutes in the crib.
I nurse him when he wakes up, then we usually "play" a bit (which is mostly smiling at each other and making cooing noises), then when he starts to get bored and sleepy I change his diaper and nurse him until he's done. He usually doesn't fall asleep right on the breast, I have to rock him or bounce him or stand up and sway for about 15 minutes before I can try to put him down somewhere.
He'll nap in the Moby Wrap as long as I keep moving while I'm wearing him. If I stop, he wakes up. So I usually only wear him if we're out of the house, grocery shopping or something.
DD, like I said, she was totally different. I had to swaddle her and nurse her to sleep, and she ONLY feel asleep while nursing for the first 9 months of her life. It had to be perfectly silent, too, and she didn't care one way or another about rocking. She would take 5 shorts naps a day for most of the first year. One the flip side, she turned into an excellent sleeper at about age 2. She still naps 2-3 hours a day.
