Okay. So I finally gave in. I went to Babies-r-us and bought a large Swaddle Me to try for Kylie's naps. She is one of those babies that needs to nap at least 3 times a day. She was not getting good naps in. She would flinch a lot and wake herself up. This is how it would go... Kylie would fuss until she fell asleep, I would put her down only for her to wake up again, pacifier goes in her mouth, she's fine for 2 minutes, pacifier falls out, she cries, I put the pacifier back in, she sleeps for 10 minutes, and the flinching/waking herself up pattern continues for another 30 minutes. If I hold her, she could sleep for over an hour, but trying to put her in her crib just wasn't working very well. It was pretty hit or miss.
This is her now all swaddled in her Swaddle Me blanket. She hates her hands not being free, but I put it on her after she's asleep and she doesn't flinch this way. I took a picture of the monitor. I didn't want to risk waking her. :)
Let's just say she sleeps for an hour each nap without waking up until the end!! Yes!
She's still slightly fussy before her naps, but I'll take it! If I knew this was all it took I would have bought her one months ago! I also have the lullaby CD on. That seems to be helping with the fussiness before she goes to sleep.
It's only been a day and a half of this test, but hopefully it keeps up!

Yay! That is the only way Ava would nap/sleep until she was 4 mos. old!
