Daytime naps

I have a camera on him due to the bedroom being upstairs.
The swing is a life saver
Mine is 7w and previously he would only nap if we were out, I really struggled getting him to nap at home. Last week I started getting him to nap in his pram with the rockit on, downstairs in the day light. I would only put him down when he looked tired and would push the pram until he slept - then keep the rockit on whilst he’s sleeping. He would be in his usual day outfit, etc. For the last week I’ve been putting him in his next to me cot, but with the blinds open, and playing wind sounds (our baby monitor has that option) and I put him in a sleep bag for warmth, I don’t swaddle. So it’s still a sleep setting but different from the evening, and I’m managing to get him to nap for up to an hour like this! X
Have you tried putting him down for a nap where he sleeps at night? I usually let him take his first nap in the bedroom in his next to me cot. Before this he only slept on me so had to use a carrier or sit still in the sofa. Never used a swaddle so can’t help you in that sense. My boy is soon 3 months.
